I always have really good points that sway me one way or another. I usually only need to persuade myself if I'm arguing over the right thing to do. My wants/desires vs. my shoulds. As a fairly logical person, rationalizing comes easy to me. Your paragraph on accountability and transparency rang true in my heart. Sure, I can convince myself to do something with supporting arguments...but I need to go to God and those I trust and reveal to them the wrestlings of my heart. Thanks for the reminder of this!
