In no situation that arises do you realize the outcome that would make your happy. Therefore, you have no guide to appropriate action, and no way of judging the result. What you do is determined by your perception of the situation and that perception is wrong. It is inevitable, then, that you will not serve your own best interestes. Yet they are your only goal in any istuations which is correctly perceived. Otherwise, you will not recongize them (Lesson 24).
Does your ego feel insultated when you read this lines? Mine does because "I know better than anyone else " what is good for me.
"Resign now as your own teacher.. you were badly taught" (T-12.V. 8:3; T-28-28.1.7:1).

If you realized that you do not perceive your own best interests, you could be taught what they are. But you are convinced that you do know best, and you cannot learn. Step toward opening your mind so that learning can begin. I often pray, "I do not know. Lead me."
Namaste, Sharon
