Many people commented on the question about living your A life so I thought I would revisit it. Basically it all depends on how you define an A life. Do you look at worldly achievements or what GOD wants for and form you? Are you self righteous or righteous? Do you even know the difference?
A self righteous person using his or her own definition to decide what is right and wrong, what is successful and unsuccessful, what is important and unimportant.
A righteous person look to the Word of GOD to define these amongst other things. You maybe disappointed for no good reason. I used to have that issues with that. And it's just incredible how many people I speak to who feel bad about themselves.
Give yourself a chance. Although you'll never appreciate yourself or love yourself as much as GOD does, you should at least try.
