As we grow spiritually,
we find that our old attitudes toward our instincts
need to undergo drastic revisions.
Our desires for emotional security and wealth,
for personal prestige and power, for romance,
and for family satisfactions --
all 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.
If we place instincts first,
we have got the cart before the horse;
we shall be pulled back into disillusionment.

Thought to Ponder....

Spirituality is the ability to get our minds off ourselves.
