Flying mending ourselves

Lately, I have been thinking about what I can do to get my life back on track. Since I feel that I have very little control in the matter, I have been pulling out things that I no longer use and making a pile to give to Goodwill. Other things I am throwing away. Other things just need to be mended. 

Things that can be mended should be mended. It is not necessary to throw them away in favor of new things. Life is like that as well. We should look closely at our flaws. Which ones can we fix and which ones can we discard? 

How few there are who have the courage enough to own their faults, or resolution enough to mend them.
