The guideposts are there and should be followed, but somehow we’d rather follow our own inclination, however false.
There are guideposts along the way of life for all to see and to follow if they are wise. Unfortunately few are wise and therefore these guideposts go unrecognized.
Have you seen any lately? If not, why not? Perhaps you have seen them but have thought, well just this once perhaps I’ll not follow and maybe it will be all right.
Our health is good or bad because we see or do not see these guideposts along life’s way, and this is also true of our life in general. Everything in moderation is a guide that should be utilized, but often is ignored because our false appetite has grown so that it intrudes, and we feel we must satisfy it whether or not the food is needed, and so it is throughout. Once we have filled our needs that should be the end of it, but the weakness grows and becomes insatiable and we are victims of excess in whatever it is we are doing.
The guideposts are there and should be followed, but somehow we’d rather follow our own inclination, however false. It is not always easy this reading of the signs and then abiding by them. No, it takes a certain amount of desire plus the will to accomplish and to be firm with self. Not easy, but it is the only way to keep from error.
Follow your guideposts to victory over self.
