There is no brighter gift, no greater potential given to we human beings, than the presence of a timeless Light within us whose power makes all things possible. This ever quiet, always present Light goes before us at all times, as does the illumination of a lamp move ahead of the one who walks by the safety of its beams.

Even if I am told what is true, it is not yet the truth. Even if I am shown what is true, it is not yet the truth. Only as I see what is true for myself does Revelation begin, and with it the work of resting from my labors for having glimpsed a peace that passes understanding.

You can't change the kind of person you are later. There is no later. It's always now or never. You can't be kind later. And you can't learn later. Choose to change now, and that moment will never come for you to worry about how to be better next time. Why?
