Galatians 6:4-5

But each one must carefully scrutinize his own work (examining his actions, attitudes, and behavior), and then he can have the personal satisfaction and inner joy of doing something commendable without comparing himself to another. For every person will have to bear (with patience) his own burden (of faults and shortcomings for which he alone is responsible).

If we want to grow in our spiritual lives, we must examine ourselves, our attitudes, and our behavior toward our families, people, and God. Have we cooled in our spiritual walk and stopped reading the Bible? Do we have a good attitude? Or have we done something praiseworthy on our own merit and not based on the merit of others? Stand or fall, our lives’ success or failure comes down to our decisions, and we alone are responsible.
