Living with Ourselves

The podcast explores the concept of living with oneself and the importance of maintaining integrity between one's internal and external selves. It highlights the tendency of people to live deceptive and dual lives, posing a potential danger to their soul. By prioritizing the health of one's soul and embracing three key habits, individuals can safeguard their inner lives. The first habit involves submitting one's will to align with higher principles and values. The second habit focuses on monitoring the heart and being self-aware of motivations and attitudes.
