The Better Life Success Enrichment Seminar 2

What's all that got to do with the journey? It's this. The point of the journey, of life, is what happens on the journey. If we stay on whatever path we were set on to begin with, by the circumstances of our lives or someone else’s design,then we will stay the undeveloped beings that we began as.

You remember being a baby, don’t you? You could barely make out that there was a world outside of yourself, dim and distant and incomprehensible. There was satisfaction that sometimes slipped over into pleasure. There was discomfort that sometimes worsened into pain. And nothing else. You waited for things to happen to you, having no choice. You hoped they would be good things.

Time moved on and your body developed. You found out that those things on the ends of your arms were your hands. You learned how to use them to get your own cookie.
You learned how to tie your shoes, which was very difficult at first. Still is. The outside world came into clearer focus. That was where the pleasure came from, and the pain. But still beyond your understanding.

As you grew, you relied on other people to teach you how the world worked, how to get what you wanted, and even what to want. Just like they had taught you to tie your shoes.
