We’re Not Just Along For The Ride - Rev Paul Gonyea

The real joy of being up in the driver’s seat is not about being in charge or in control. The real joy is in the freedom to choose, the freedom to change our mind, the freedom to be spontaneous. It’s in the opportunity to choose our own direction in life. There’s nothing wrong with doing things with other people. That’s part of what we’re here to learn. We’re here to learn how to share, and how to love, and how to live together with other people while we learn from one another. We don’t need to be in charge of other people to be successful, but we do need to be in charge of ourselves. Our desires are no more or less important than anyone else’s, but no one will ever be as interested in our growth and our spiritual path as we are, nor should they be. We’re all here to walk our own path while learning how to live together.
