There Are No Right or Wrong Paths, Just Different

Physical man gets into an uncomfortable place when he concludes, "I and those like me have come to the right decisions, and everybody that's living outside of these right decisions is wrong." And then he spends his life pushing against all those "wrong" decisions and cutting himself off from the Life Force that would help him have joy in his, what he concludes to be, right decisions. There is no one right path. There are endless paths, and the differences in the paths are what make them more and more, and more, perfect. The same old path no longer serves.

**************

I receive these daily quotes via email and this one really resonated with me today. Probably because the majority of people I grew up with still push their beliefs onto others in this same way. Whether or not they say it out loud, I know deep down they feel they are right and everyone else is wrong. I personally don’t believe that way and find myself pushing against organized religions for this very reason. That being said, I know the quote above refers to many things, not just religious beliefs.

ENLIGHTENED PERSPECTIVE

There is a reason why I’ve saved so many great emails through the years. It never hurts to be reminded, especially when the weight of the world feels like it’s pressing down. Whether or not ole Andy wrote all these things or not,this is one worth reading over and over again. Enjoy…
