Part I:
If we would spend as much time consciously exploring our own path through life as we do complaining about where we are upon it, or wishing we had the walk of another, we would soon know for ourselves this Great self-liberating Truth: The only real difference there is between the myriad paths that people must walk in their lives is never found in these paths themselves, but in a person's willingness to accept and then complete each leg of his or her appointed journey.
Part II:
When it comes to the order of events in this world, in our schools for instance, we first enlarge our understanding and then take a test of some kind to prove our wisdom. But in the spiritual realm we are tested first, and then, depending upon the honesty and willingness with which we respond, we are granted a greater Wisdom for our efforts only to find in this Gift our being itself stands enlarged.
