ONE SPIRIT COMMUNITY

By Morgan Langan

“We’re all here to choose and create a lifestyle that accommodates our belief systems. The WAY to pursue a life of liberty and happiness is as individuated as we are. A great understanding occurred for me when I experienced how the success of a friend directly affected my success. Can you recall a circumstance in your life when a friend experienced success? Do you remember what effect their success had on your life? Success represents an opportunity for all of us. We support the lives of all by our own efforts for ourselves. The unique skills and talents that are yours alone, belong equally to all when shared from your heart. By nature, we have the right to the pursuit of such a life; yet this does not a guarantee we will obtain that which we pursue. There is no “guarantee” to possess that which we have not earned. It is the individual using his mind and heart to create the life of his vision that prospers. It is the individual who focuses upon how to live a life of meaning that brings forth meaning into the world.

Each person must support all life by their own effort.

Rational self-interest, which is the pursuit of one’s self happiness, is often referred to as being “selfish.” I wonder then; is the desire to live also selfish?  Is this learned self sacrificial thinking? Is this an attempt by those “in-power” to convince us that we need to look at what is best for the whole before we think about what is best for ourselves? This limited thinking indicates a lack of understanding that I am indeed part of the whole. The best way to empower the whole is to empower myself. My SELF!

With this being said, I always encourage the success of others. Remember, success for another is simultaneously success for all of us. On an even more basic level: if you in any way resent success in others, you will seldom attract it to yourself. Remember, it is difficult to attract that which you reject. Successful people are thoughtful; they care about your success, they encourage the pursuit of passion, and they lead others by their examples. They have little TIME to discuss what isnít, because they are busy creating what is. They are conscious and thoughtful of others, and their words hold meaning.

With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world, states The Desiderata – The world from my perspective, is especially beautiful when individual members of the community come together with a shared vision to support the highest potential of each unique individual.
