"Throughout our lifetime, we sometimes question our reason, our actions, our very purpose for being. Knowing that this is a natural occurrence does not prevent many from falling by the wayside, weighed down by the burden of doubt. To have accepted this vessel meant that we were willing to endure its strengths and weaknesses. Recognizing the weaknesses and building on the strengths will enable the spirit to grow.
Our soul has much to learn from this fragile temple: passion, anxiety, depression, exhilaration, despair, patience, loneliness, serenity, etc. All facets of life must be embraced and understood before we approach the threshold of wisdom.
We have the knowledge but do we really understand what we know?
"
