Drastic Revisions

As we grow spiritually, we find that our old attitudes toward our instincts
had to undergo drastic revisions.
Our desires for emotional security and wealth, for personal prestige and power,
for romance and for family satisfactions —
all of these have to be tempered and redirected.
We have learned that the satisfaction of instincts
cannot be the sole end and aim of our lives.

Thought to Ponder …
Pain is the measure of our resistance to change.
