Jeremiah 8:6 · World English Bible
I listened and heard, but they didn’t say what is right. No one repents of his wickedness, saying, “What have I done?” Everyone turns to his course, as a horse that rushes headlong in the battle.
The question a person never asks is the reason their course never bends, no matter how fast they run it. Anyone who stops examining himself runs on momentum, and from the inside momentum feels exactly like direction.
From the Self-Help reading below.
The same verse, read by one tradition.
SELF-HELP
The question a person never asks is the reason their course never bends, no matter how fast they run it.
Anyone who stops examining himself runs on momentum, and from the inside momentum feels exactly like direction. A man reads his own speed as proof he is going somewhere, the proof holds his confidence, and confidence drives the next mile.
God is listening for one sentence, the one that puts a man on the hook for his own outcomes, since nothing softer interrupts a gallop. A mind never sent looking for its own part will faithfully report there is none. Years of that, and a man arrives somewhere he never chose, asking who did this to him.
Self-Help lens
If today kept repeating, where would it take you, and did you choose that?
Every night put the day on trial and ask what you did badly, what you resisted, what you would do again. A life unreviewed runs on momentum and calls it progress.
Turn the light around and look at the one looking. Without that turn, speed is just a longer road in the same direction.
The mind can be your closest friend or your worst opponent, and which one depends entirely on whether you ever examine it.
