Which is dearer, fame or your life?

This morning, during my daily meditation, I struggled with attachment and disappointment.  I spoke to my ancestors about doing the right thing and how difficult it is to stay committed when you have a drop of doubt tainting your pool of affirmations. Luckily they responded with this passage and when I opened one of my bibles, the Tao Te Ching, this is what I read...

From the Tao Te Ching

Which is dearer, fame or your life?

Which is greater, your life or possessions?

Which is more painful, gain or loss?

Therefore we always pay a great price for excessive love

And suffer deep loss for great accumulation.

Knowing what is enough, you will not be humiliated.

Knowing where to stop, you will not be imperiled

And can be long-lasting.

-Lao Tzu

When you develop your connection to your spirit guides, your higher self grows exponentially.  You access your ancient knowledge.  Don't cheat yourself of your spiritual muscle for it will keep you more protected than your physical muscles.
