===Note===
‘To face the music’ means ‘to face the situation’ or ‘to assume the [[consequences]].’ It originated from the [[tradition]] of disgraced officers being ‘drummed out ' of their regiment. ([https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/face-the-music.html 1])
===Lesson===
Thought Adjuster: “When you chronically make lame [[excuses]] for faulty [[behaviors]], you have not reached the turning point of having a radical [[conversion]] [[experience]] that will lift you out of the errors of your ways to propel you into pristine new territories of [[soul growth]].
If you are [[reluctant]] to face the music, you turn a deaf ear to what rings true. You sense that you are not playing from the same sheet and, even though your inner [[dissonance]] bothers you, your untamed sense of [[pride]] prevents you from acknowledging the wrong notes that crept into your solo rendition.
To make excuses in place of amends keeps you spiritually [[complacent]] and morally deficient. Sadly, your [[society]] is very much under the spell of such adversarial lawyering. Assigning all the blame to others is a widespread [[delusional]] tactic to refute personal [[responsibility]]. It is counterproductive, as your unalienable [[free will]] prerogative makes you, de facto, responsible for your [[thoughts]], [[feelings]], and [[actions]].
It is where the saving [[grace]] of [[sincere]] [[repentance]] comes in. Repentance is an ‘activity’ that puts an end to your moral [[stagnation]] or regression. You owe to your [[feeling]] of contrition and express regret for past wrongs, committing to make improvements. You take the admirable initiative to humbly suspend self-serving pursuits to turn to [[God]] and walk in his ways.
Your life will never be the same after turning this corner. Why would you wish to go back to your old destructive ways while the [[future]] holds so many [[blessings]] in store for you with their altruistic splatter effect?”
