Stepping Stones for Growth

Life's purpose isn't about avoiding failure; it's about seeing every action as its own reward. The results, whether painful or pleasant, are simply stepping stones for growth. By living and acting with this mindset, we find a deep and lasting joy.

“The soul-sickness of the misaligned oft inspires fear of failure, producing paralysis, dimming the Will to act , darkening the Light within. Every action is a setup for failure… until I see that each act is its own reward, and every result —painful or pleasant— is seen as a bonus for me to embrace, learn from, grow from, and stand upon as Stone from which I choose again to act. Thus, I carve Stone from Rock to polish, treasure, and place along the cobbled Path I make upon the Way: experience is the Purpose of existence; a fullness of Joy is the Purpose of Life; alignment with Truth is the Way to Joy; the Path is Fire and Water through Air unto Earth by at-One-ment.”
