The Daily Q'uote for December 10, 2017
"When you are tempted to feel helpless, hopeless and despairing, we would encourage you to remember that you do not need to relate to some idea of the Creator and please the Creator. Neither do you need to relate to the world and in some way please the world. In terms of your spiritual work, you have only yourself to please�
You are not helpless. You are a person of infinite power.
You are not hopeless, unless you choose to take that pose and stand as a statue, ignoring the movements of life.
You may well be despairing because you have allowed yourself to identify the illusion as the realest portion of your life. In actuality, in terms of spiritual evolution, that which occurs outside of your mind is food for the mill. The pay dirt of spiritual seeking lies not in circumstances but in how you choose to respond to them."
Just give in to the despair, hopelessness not just give in make it as big as possible.. then accept it as, a part of you expressing itself trying to help you and rest in silence with it. Or if not ready to accept on that level(ive had plenty of experience with those emotions including today) then balance with the opposite bias or put it on the shelf for a rainy day. So when feel peace can revisit it and attempt it them.
"The pay dirt of spiritual seeking lies not in circumstances but in how you choose to respond to them." I love the use pay dirt havent heard that expression for a while
