Providential Guideposts ... p. 40



COMPARISONS
It is an idle, self-destructive, path to trod when we set out to compare ourself with another. Jealousy and envy cannot but arise to poison our thoughts and adversely affect behaviour.

We are simply not like any other. We each have our own identity and our own reason for being; that is to say, our own unique purpose in life. And it is one to celebrate.

There are some, to be sure, who intuitively know their destiny early in life. Others, no doubt the majority, encumbered by the vicissitudes of life, must each strive to find the truth.

How to know our purpose, to live a life fulfilled, is less a matter of the mind than one of going within to awaken the soul, thus to connect with our higher, spiritual, self. However hard and however long, it is its own reward.
