Learning

You are here:
To gain character as you lose ego
To gain integrity as you lose dishonesty
To gain strength as you lose fear
To gain compassion as you lose disap-pointment
To gain discipline as you lose willfullness
To gain equality as you lose separation
To gain appreciation as you lose resentment
To gain enthusiasm as you lose hostility
To gain tenderness as you lose rigidity
To gain boldness as you lose bitterness
To gain generosity as you lose selfishness
To gain optimism as you lose inadequacy
To gain excitement as you lose embarrass-
ment;

To gain gratitude as you lose greed
To gain love as you lose ignorance

Until today, you may not have been aware that as you surrender one thing, you gain something to replace it. Just for today, live life like it is a spiritual stock market. Cut your losses and celebrate your gains.

Today I am devoted to investing in the development of my spiritual nature!


From Until Today!
