Good Thought From Henri Nouwen

"As you bring your body home, you will be more able to discern with your whole being the value of other people's spiritual experiences and their conceptualization. You will be able to understand the appreciate them without deisring to imitate them. You will be more self-confident and free to claim your unique place in life as God's gift to you. There will be no need for comparisons. Trust that you too have a unique vocation that is worth claiming and living out faithfully. " The Inner Voice of Love.

There is hope that someday we will stop comparing ourselves with others, imitating others, trying to please others and be able to be the person God wants us to be and nothing more.
