Never waste time feeling you have a very long way to go in this spiritual life. Instead, be encouraged and strengthened by realising how far you have come, and give eternal thanks for it. Realise how much you have to be grateful for. Surround yourself with beautiful thoughts, with beautiful things, with beautiful people. See the light of truth shining in everything and everyone. Let your light shine brightly from deep within you. Know that nothing without can extinguish it and that only your negativity can do it. Therefore keep positive all the time. Always choose the path of light and ignore the darkness, thereby giving it no strength. More and more light is needed as the hunger for spiritual food grows greater in the world, so keep your light burning brightly. Be light and let it shine forth from you, pushing back the darkness. Be love and let love flow from you freely, and helpmeet the tremendous need in the world.
