For several months now I have had a desire to write and express my thoughts but knew not where to begin.
I seem to be gaining a deeper understanding and appreciation of fundamental truths. My frustration in trying to share these new insights with others is that I find myself saying the same things I’ve heard all my life i.e. nothing new.
I’m beginning to realizing that the most simple and basic of principles which can be covered in a single primary lesson, are in truth the greatest mysteries and require many years before gaining the smallest comprehension of how deep they truly go; at which point you again realize how simple they are. These are lessons that can be taught by man, but are only understood through the Spirit.
The topics of which I speak are love, family, acceptance or surrender to Gods will, and light. OK, maybe the last one isn’t a primary topic. (Smirk)
Conclusion: In my youth I sought after perfection, which proved to be a source of much frustration and inner turmoil. I’m now returning to basics in hopes of taking a few small steps in the right direction. If I can find happiness in the success of others, if I can find fulfillment in unrecognized service to a stranger, if I can both give and receive in a spirit of appreciation, and if I can apply this attribute of love in my life to the extent of being a source of some good upon the very small realm of my influence, I will consider my life a great success.
