(From page 180 of the book “Jumbo Jumble”)

…… And when that (a long-lasting and steady contentment due to “creating and implementing" your true purpose) happens, you will look back and wonder how you could have wasted so much time chasing those ephemeral desires, like money and beauty—to comings and goings over which you have limited control……

Author’s Comment: We have limited control over many of the events which take place in our lives. However, with effort, we can cultivate a more steady contentment which can weather the ups and downs of life. Taking this a step further, helping to develop a society (through education, practicing fairness and equity for all, etc) would engender more and more people’s capacity to elevate such a formidable foundation upon which to live out their lives.
