Quotes:
• A man’s pride can be his downfall, and he needs to learn when to turn to others for support and guidance. — Edward Michael “Bear” Grylls (1974-) British adventurer
• Spirituality can release blocks, lead you to ideas, and make your life artful. Sometimes when we pray for guidance, we’re guided in unexpected directions. We may want a lofty answer and we get the intuition to clean our bedroom. It can seem so humble and picky and that you don’t necessarily think of it as spiritual guidance. — Julia B. Cameron (1948-) American teacher, author, & artist
Comment: Pick your guiding principle(s). They may be mutual respect with self-respect or honesty with tact and tolerance. Depending on your circumstances it may even be long-suffering. Whatever you come to hold dear will be the light showing you the path ahead (even if you have to forge a new one).
