Ever gone to a church and assumed everyone was better than you? Ever listened to people in the church talk and assumed that they would judge you as soon as they knew you? This has been my plight for a long time. I think I must just not be as spiritual as everyone else. I just have too many problems and my spiritual viewpoint and development is inferior.
Well, the other day, after going to church, it hit me like a bolt of lightning that being the inferior one was really illogical. A few days before that I realized it was great to have my own style. Someone I know who is wise commented on how different people have different spiritual qualities and they are all great. They are all different, but still all great. We all radiate different spirits, different energies, etc.
Well, I guess the comment helped because I realized there was no comparing one good spiritual energy to the next. There was no comparing one great human being with the next great human being. If they were great, they were great.
And so if you go to church, or are anywhere else comparing yourself to others, remember that you have your own strengths. You have your own spirit that you cultivate through your habits, actions, and thoughts. I have my own spirit that I cultivate. Why devalue that? Why devalue it just because it is deemed by me to be imperfect, not quite developed, or just not the same as everyone else?
