You are One with everything. When you are clear about this, your definition of self-interest will change.

It is not a question of whether you 'have what it takes,' but of whether you take the gifts you have - they are plenteous - and share them with all the world.

If you need to know in advance that everything will 'work out' before you jump in, you'll never jump into anything.

That which you condemn will condemn you, and that which you judge, you will one day become.

The world is in the condition it is in because of you, and the choices you have made - or failed to make. (Not to decide is to decide.) The Earth is in the shape it's in because of you, and the choices you have made - or failed to make. Your own life is the way it is because of you, and the choices you have made - or failed to make.

You know that the formula is askew when even if the formula is working, it's not; when even if everything's going right, something is wrong.

Is it possible that there is something we don't fully understand about God and about Life, the understanding of which would change everything? Is it possible that there is something we don't understand about ourselves, and about who we are, the understanding of which would alter our lives forever for the better? Yes. The answer is yes.
