Instincts
Our desires for emotional security and wealth, for personal prestige and power, for romance, and family satisfactions -- all these have to be tempered and redirected... If we place instincts first, we have got the cart before the horse; we shall be pulled backward into disillusionment. But when we are willing to place spiritual growth first -- then and only then do we have a real chance.

Growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional,
growing spiritually is up to you.
