Chapter Three 
Discover why the Bible states: “pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit precedes a fall”. Who among us has the courage to face down our own vanity and watch it’s ugly sneer as we helplessly sell out our soul and future to satisfy it’s voracious appetite to see itself exalted?

How does one reconcile what one knows is destructive, but want it never the less?  We’ve all heard of that so-called ‘little voice’ that speaks to us. Some call it our conscious, some call it our sense of guilt. I call it the Inner Eye and it never lies. 

Cynthia worked so hard to achieve the school’s highest award and she was in line to receive it before the entire student body. But something happened and she didn’t.  Crushed, she turned to Manny who turned her anger and fear back on herself.  Manny forced her to take an introspective look at something few of us will admit to – motive. Cynthia soon discovered that motive is often more important than the goal and along the way to that new knowledge, learned something she had learned earlier in life but deliberately chose to forget.

In time, Cynthia would discover that her Inner Eye was her best ally and that God’s participation is the focus of that eye would propel her to heights she had never dreamed of without the stench of pride and self-aggrandizement.
