How you respond

Half the time we're not even aware of how bad we are until we have a moment of clarity. And that's okay -- that's how it is. However, it's at that moment of clarity when everything becomes important.

What we do at this point defines who we are (NOT how bad we had gotten before the moment of clarity.)

At this point, we can choose to repent or continue in it. That is the choice that defines who we are.
