"Principles" not "Products"

Ok, so this is something I feel pretty passionate about. I've learned to be careful not to say I'm right about anything because it seems like I get proven wrong more often than I'd like, but on this topic, I'm pretty confident.

I have found it necessary to focus on the "principles" for healing rather than any particular "perfect", "cure-all", or "miracle" product or process. That doesn't mean there aren't certain products or processes that are great for me and my healing journey. I have found my fair share. But I have been knocked down too many times to believe that there is one thing that will do the job in one fell swoop, once and for all. It just doesn't work like that. One thing may work for someone but not work for another. What worked for me at one point, may not work for me forever. It's just that simple.

I have found that the "principles" for healing stay pretty consistent but it's the way to go about it that mixes and changes and varies with individual people and timing.

So if your friend has found something that has been great for them, that's great, but realize that it just might not be the right thing for you at all. We all have the responsibility to study, pray and seek for personal guidance on our own journeys. It's no easy task, but important to consistently remember.

So, I've ended my quest for the perfect product or process now and simply seek out for those things that will best suit my healing journey at the moment.
