you to learn that it can be overwhelming.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

try something new in your lives, know that you have our support and

The opposite of the profound weakness of will.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Maybe it would be defined as… I can feel
the strength when I am walking the path.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>That’s one of the ways that I have of deciding that the path is right,
that there is strength.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So, I guess
I’m asking for ways that I could know that my path is God’s path and the path I
am walking on is His.</P>

<P class=MsoHeader style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: 5in"><B>DANIEL</B>:
My daughter, my friend, your question is most profound.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In its simplest terms, strength comes
from experience.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>As one’s
experiences amass a pool of knowledge and one is open to growth and change, then
those experiences provide the basis for strength to take the next step.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>One can also say that strength is a
by-product of one’s faith, which also is a by-product one’s experiences.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>All of these matters work together for
good, for progress, and as one is improved, grows, it impacts the others.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoHeader style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: .5in">True wisdom is
the last of the seven steps in life’s perfectioning.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your Urantia Book lays them out as they
typically are experienced by the human individual.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Starting with intuition, and progressing
not step by step but in a two step forward, one step back, sort of growth, for
the human animal at your stage of social, spiritual and intellectual development
must make many mistakes.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Those are
expected and are part of the experiences one gains over the course of
living.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So, as one moves forward,
makes a decision, whether a good choice or poor, those experiences are filed and
together they build strength, faith, your life pattern.<SPAN

<P class=MsoHeader style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: 5in"><B>Roxie</B>: I
think it is clarifying and very true that experience and faith lead me to
greater strength.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And I like your
analogy of the tip of the iceberg.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>And that has been the source of my strength in the past and so I can hold

<P class=MsoHeader style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: 5in"><B>DANIEL</B>:
Each individual must seek a balance in their lives, too little or too much of
any of these concepts we have discussed throw the personality out of
balance.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>One needs a certain amount
of confidence.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Too little
confidence leads one to be reticent about taking the chance change demands, and
too much confidence gives one over to a lack of humility, which is necessary to
understand God’s Will in your life.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Hence, balance is what one must seek and that can only be attained by
constant internal inspection of how you think your life is going.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yes, you will not always make the
correct analysis; but it is only by introspection that one can grow. God has set
a life before you.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There are a
great number of paths open to each of you.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>One is not necessarily better than the others because every decision you
make builds upon your beginning wisdom.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>But to be truly wise is a place far in front of all of us, even we your
older brothers and sisters have not achieved true and complete wisdom.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We too are growing, seeking God’s Will
for us, developing that personality we have been given and seeking
perfection.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>

enough or do you wish to pursue these ideas further?</P>

<P class=MsoHeader style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: 5in"><B>Roxie</B>: I
like the idea of balance.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It has
seemed to me though that some people are blessed with a very “neat”
personality.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There have been times
in the last year that I have felt personality deficits.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So I am wanting to be more outgoing, not
isolated so much.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And I’ve not
achieved that balance that you’re recommending.</P>
<P class=MsoHeader

<P class=MsoHeader style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: 5in"><B>DANIEL</B>:
The challenge of balance is before all of us.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We are all in a state of imbalance, and
seeking to balance those aspects of our lives, which we feel we would like to
improve, may not necessarily be the wisest thing for us to do at any particular
point in our lives because we do not yet have full wisdom.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So, while it is expected the human
animal will make many mistakes concomitant that, is the fact that your lives are
in a constant state of imbalance.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>And because balancing is difficult doesn’t mean it’s impossible nor
should you stop trying.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>

did not give you permission to make mistakes.<SPAN

the universe.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>For many people
growth is greater when they error than when they make the correct decision.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Looking back on your own lives I suspect
many of you have had that experience, that there have been times when you have
made mistakes which led to great leaps forward in your growth.<SPAN

mistakes.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Those can be the building
blocks of immense growth steps.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

all the lessons that we are getting in this university and realizing that we

these relationships, these challenges to grow, will continue throughout our
complete ascent and perhaps beyond.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

Most times there is no right answer; there is no correct answer; there is no
perfect answer to the decisions you make.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>There are usually better and less better ones.<SPAN

is subject to many paths and some may be better than others, but they all will
ultimately lead to the Father, irregardless of how many mistakes you make along
the way.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>As long as you keep trying
progress will be made.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If you reach
a point where you are tired, then the answer is “rest”.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Take time to relax.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Do something else.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Take a vacation.<SPAN

your life where you left off, rejuvenated, reinvigorated and ready to take the
bumps that life has in store for you.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

Let me say this, humor is important to the human animal because of your state of
immaturity spiritually.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is what
you might call “a saving grace”.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>The ability to laugh at yourself and others enables you to deal more
effectively with those mistakes that you and others are going to make.<SPAN

humor is present in every human individual.<SPAN

a part of their personality.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>But it
remains present in all of you and can be developed if you wish to.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It requires the same work that any
project takes.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your science teaches
that if you perceive a problem, develop a plan after some creative thought,

out.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If your plan works, good!<SPAN
