This is all wrapped up in a quote that I have cited many times, which was written back in the 19th century by one of the most influential spiritual masters ever to grace my path. His name is Henry David Thoreau, and his words have always rung sharply in my consciousness: "If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.

Reread that quote carefully. If you are not the master of yourself, then by this definition you are not free.

It consists in the dissipation of one's own ignorance concerning one's self and life, and the gradual growth of that understanding which begins the spiritual awakening. The finding of God is a coming to one's self.

Stop chasing your dreams. Allow them to come to you in perfect order with unquestioned timing.

If you want to find deeper meaning in your life, you can't find it in the opinions or the beliefs that have been handed to you. You have to go to that place within yourself.

I've often cited the Buddhist proverb "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear." Although it is not always evident at the time, all of our experiences in this life, even those that are painful, have a true and necessary purpose in our soul's journey.
