The way to reduce the pain which you associate with earthly experiences and events-both yours and those of others-is to change the way you behold them.

Focus your mind on what your Highest Self chooses to be.

I have not said your values are wrong. But neither are they right. They are simply judgments. Assessments. Decisions. For the most part, they are decisions made not by you, but by someone else. Your parents, perhaps. Your religion. Your teachers, historians, politicians.

If the whole world followed you, would you be pleased with where you took it?

You are always and forever in the moment of pure creation. So create who and what you are, and then experience that.

If "man who supports his family, at all costs, even his own happiness" is Who You Are, then love your work, because it is facilitating your creation of a living statement of Self. If "woman who works at job she hates in order to meet responsibilities as she sees them" is Who You Are, then love, love, love your job, for it totally supports your Self image, your Self concept. Everyone can love everything the moment they understand what they are doing, and why. No one does anything he doesn't want to do.

Be a living, breathing example of the Highest Truth that resides within you.
