Human beings must realize that whatever circumstances they are placed in are the result of their own actions.

Progress can start from faith or doubt.

In acceptance of another’s actions, you are surrendering your Self to yourself, not to another. Who are we to demand, “I need this,” or “I need that”? Rather, “Lord, you know my needs and I know you will fulfill my needs. I trust you have a reason for this. Perhaps you are trying to teach me something; who am I to teach you and demand from you? Am I capable of commanding you? You command me, rather. Not my will . . . Thy will.”

When you try and change that which is forever changing, you produce conflicts and those conflicts bind you more and more and more.
