12. Difficulties of the Path (2)

Fragment ID: 3908

You are not asked to do anything that you are incapable of; it is something that you have done already and of which therefore you are capable. You are not asked to change your nature by your own effort, but only to stand back from these ideas and thoughts, refuse to indulge them and remain quiet within and allow the Force you have repeatedly felt to change you. To repeat constantly “I am weak, I am unfit, I am bad” will lead you nowhere.
