What we need in our lives is to understand what we have been given. We judge our lives by the amount of troubles we have, and we pray, “Take away the troubles.” We never say thank you for what we have been given. If we understood what we have been given, we would understand that our troubles are trivial. They come and they will go. They come like a fly, and all you have to do is let it go. But we don’t understand, and we struggle. We struggle to be free. I don’t have to struggle to recognize my freedom. Within me— within you— is a light so bright that never again do you have to be in the darkness. And the majesty that is inside of you is unchanging.
