The Test


“We cannot tell what may happen to us in the strange medley of life. But we can decide what happens in us -- how we can take it, what we do with it -- and that is what really counts in the end. How to take the raw stuff of life and make it a thing of worth and beauty -- that is the test of living.”

~Joseph Fort Newton

I agree with Joseph Fort Newton. Depending on you attitude you can find enjoyment and satisfaction independent of your conditions.

Its only when people start comparing their lives to other people's lives that they start to lose their satisfaction. Any life can be a things of worth and beauty if you consider it in its own context as opposed to its relation with others.

Nathan,
It all depends on where we put our attention.

I have to agree with you, Nathan. It all depends on our attitude - the way we look at things - we can find enjoyment and satisfaction irregardless of our conditions. When we do compare our lives with others and with what is ideal we get discontented. So, we have to make the most of everything.

Amber,
Yes, you and Nathan have a good point.

Some human beings believe the soul has deep insight into the lessons that will be learned before a particular incarnation. It is necessary to raise energy vibration and awareness to a certain level in order to explore and verify deeper soul understandings. Tap into your innate wisdom and relearn what you had forgotten.

Liara,
I agree. Tapping into my innate wisdom as we speak. ;D
