Our inspirations come as a surprise to us. Following them our lives are fresh and unpredictable. But if in disobedience we imitate the lives of others or follow concepts or precepts our lives will be dull and unsatisfying and predictable. The unfolding of potential in obedience to inspiration is happiness in this life. An arduous happiness in which we move forward. Disobedience is unhappiness and moving toward unconsciousness. Happiness is self sought. It is life. You can only bring happiness to others by being happy yourself. You can only be happy by being on the path of your unfolding potential. The path will be revealed to you by a request to your own mind.
