The Illusion of having 'made it'

[Brittany]

In my current experience, happiness comes not from overcoming all challenges, but from being able to appreciate the challenges as opportunities and face them joyfully in faith and love; to honor one's own being at all stages of development, seeing the beauty of a soul knowing itself instead of attempting to force the identity into a preferred configuration. Natural food always tastes better than the processed stuff, and it's the same way with soul growth. Easier to savor if allowed to progress naturally.
