Thought Adjuster: “[[Mortals]] of [[this world]] insist on determining the [[value]] of a human life based on the material [[achievements]] of a person. This is not based on [[wealth]] only, but also on the perceived worth of a person in [[comparison]] to others — her [[social status]] and what others [[think]] of that person. For example, an illiterate man would be considered to be less valuable than the leader of a powerful [[nation]] who on every day makes [[decisions]] about the future of his subjects. However, you must [[understand]] that this is an exclusively human [[point of view]] and those apparent differences do not exist in the eyes of [[our Father]].
“Observe your little [[children]], their [[smiles]], their [[games]]. See how they enjoy themselves with very little. How they [[entertain]] themselves with the [[simplest]] things. These creatures are truly happy with [[everything]] that comes to them. Consider now what happens to a human being after she starts growing seemingly losing her capacity for [[happiness]]? What can anyone do to start to enjoy life in this world just like a small child can?
“The capacity for happiness in a [[human being]] is innate. The [[anxieties]], unconformity, and the need to have something extra to justify [[joy]] are learned [[behaviors]], acquired during a life of [[listening]] to others telling you what you need, when in [[reality]] you already had everything you really needed from the start. It is true that you have to take care of your needs and those of your [[family]], but you have chosen to put so many additional and heavy loads on your shoulders!
“Many of you invest much [[time]] and [[effort]] in chasing the riches of this world and when you finally obtain them [[discover]] that you have not gained any additional happiness. You could [[dedicate]] many years to become a great person, as it is considered by the majority on this planet, but in the end you will always discover that really nothing has changed. To many, this [[experience]] of struggling so much to achieve nothing of real [[value]] is exactly what they need in order to [[awaken]] to higher realities.
“But intelligent men and women should search for the things that fill their days with real [[meaning]], [[value]] and [[happiness]], and invest their efforts in endeavors of [[eternal]] value. If you have already discovered your [[Father within]] your heart, wouldn’t it be better to dedicate your time, your mental and material [[resources]], and your heart to search for the only thing that can truly make you happy, satisfied and increasingly [[perfect]]? Cultivate your [[relationship]] with [[the Father]] and reap the benefits of a truly well-lived life.”
