This life is a test-it is only a test. If it had been an actual life, you would have received further instructions on where to go and what to do. Remember, this life is only a test.

Compassion is our deepest nature. It arises from our interconnection with all things.

We must look at our life without sentimentality, exaggeration or idealism. Does what we are choosing reflect what we most deeply value?
