The only things you truly own are your spirituality and your good deeds. If you give either one up, which can only happen through YOUR choice, your life will lose it’s significance. If you never let them go you’ll experience great joy, and your life will be blessed.

When one loves or hates on an all-consuming level, all that matters at the time is to achieve the purpose of that intense emotion. So if you have an emotion of that intensity, be cautious!

But if your feeling is an all-consuming love for the Glorious One which radiates brighter than anything else, know you are blessed and luxuriate in that light of truth and joy.

The blind intensify another sense to compensate for their lack of vision. Their example teaches us to focus on increasing our strengths instead of our weaknesses. 

Taking some time to strengthen your weak points is admirable, but not when you can use your special gift for a higher purpose. 

Follow your natural instinct to hone and use your greatest talents. . . like the blind do. You’ll feel more fulfilled, and your soul will be more energized.

We’re becoming a society where things easier or less time consuming are seen as good: Fast food, on line shopping, prepackaged meals, even driving one block to visit a neighbor instead of walking. By taking the fastest or easiest path, we might think we’re better off, but often this is furthest from the truth. 

By sometimes doing what is NOT the easiest way and taking on something more difficult gives you a wonderful sense of accomplishment and joy. You feel good about yourself, and life feels exciting.

Don’t always take the fast, easy way. You might find more joy in life.
