The choice
We live in a world of duality. This is an undisputed truth. Every day we have to make choices, from the most simple to the most difficult. And when you walk a spiritual path, we learn that all knowledge carries with it a sense of responsibility for what we chose and we do, we no longer have the cover of ignorance as an excuse and the free will we have is to choose between following a path of good or evil. Be the simplest person or one who assumes a role of therapist, facilitator, guide, teacher or master, we should be well defined within the following words of Lao Tzu, creator of the Tao Te Ching.
"Fame or integrity: which is more important?
Money or happiness: which is more valuable?
Success or defeat: what is more destructive?
Mastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is true power.
When you settle for just being yourself, and don't compare no compete, everybody will respect you. "
