Your conscience shows you who you really are by manifesting how well your choices align with your beliefs. It is easy to say that you are doing your best. Do you feel the slightest bit of guilt about anything? If you do, rest assured that you do not actually believe you are doing your best about that thing.1 You will never feel guilty about something about which you believe you’ve done all you can.2 To maintain a clear conscience, you must measure up to the best you can be.
