Your ideas about right and wrong are just that-ideas.  They are the thoughts which form the shape and create the substance of who you are.  There would be only one reason to change any of these; only one purpose in making an alteration:  if you are not happy with who you are.

Only you can know if you are happy.  Only you can say of your life-"this is my creation, in which I am well pleased."  If your values serve you, hold to them.  Argue for them.  Fight to defend them.  Yet seek to fight in a way which harms no one.  Harm is not a necessary ingredient in healing.

You are your own rule-maker.  You set the guidelines.  And you decide how well you are doing.  For you are the only one who has decided who and what you really are-and who you want to be.  And you are the only one who can assess how well you're doing.

It's your soul's only desire to turn its grandest concept about itself into its greatest experience.  Until concept becomes experience, all there is is speculation.

Do not condemn, therefore, all that you would call bad in the world.  Rather ask yourself, what about this have you judged bad, and what, if anything, you wish to do to change it.

Forget not who you are in the moment of your encirclement, by that which you are not.  Know that what you do in the time of your greatest trial, can be your greatest triumph.  For the experience you create is a statement of who you are , and who you want to be.
