When you think that it's too hard, remember that in the long run, doing the things that will make you successful is a lot easier than being unsuccessful
Humility is essential to the acquiring of spiritual knowledge. To be humble is to be teachable.

I am convinced that there is no simple formula or technique that would immediately allow you to master the ability to be guided by the voice of the Spirit. Our Father expects you to learn how to obtain that divine help by exercising faith in Him and His Holy Son, Jesus Christ.

They know that essential personal growth will come as you struggle to learn how to be led by the Spirit.
Some people stay away from the door for the chance of it opening up.
I vividly remember a conversation I had many years ago in 1974, which marked a turning point in my leadership journey.

Personal growth can be painful, because it can make us feel ashamed and humiliated to face our own darkness. But our spiritual goal is the journey out of fear-based, painful mental habit patterns, to those of love and peace.
