Listen to Your Soul’s Warning Before Taking Any Action
Every person has a soul, and when we do something wrong for the first time, there’s an inner voice that tells us it’s not right—that’s our soul warning us. If we ignore this voice and continue down the wrong path, it gradually becomes quieter, and eventually, we no longer hear it. We get deeper into bad habits without realizing it. For example, if someone has eaten enough but continues to indulge, their soul is likely telling them to stop. Overeating can lead to digestive issues like diarrhea or vomiting, yet people often wonder how they got sick without recognizing that it’s the result of ignoring their soul’s warning. When we overeat, the body tries to rid itself of the excess, and the consequences are inevitable.

Work on eliminating the negative habits before others point them out, embarrass you, or you face their consequences. Make this a daily habit, and you’ll find that no one can criticize you for your shortcomings. Nobody will be able to point their finger at you for your shortcomings. If you struggle to let go of bad habits on your own, it may indicate a lack of inner strength—the soul power that helps you improve and embrace positivity.
