What have you overvalued in life?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for October 29, 2008:
The way that I see it is that I have made other pleasures in life my gods. This really doesn't work when the One God is neglected because these gods have failed me again and again.
I have taken pride in my strengths, and in my spiritual growth. I have overvalued the fact that I care about evolving spiritually. I used to think that was a special" and eccentric feature of my personality...but then I learned that it is our NATURE to know God. (whoops!)
I have been in relationships with men for the past eight years without interruption, and in and out of them I have gone through cycles of boasting/crashing. I have looked for love from outside of myself and felt invisible and worthless without someone who loves me. (I know, this doesn't sound so foreign, but once the Real God is praised for what He/She is and has done for us, it sounds ridiculous to have been denying that love all of this time). I learned that these gods were misplaced when they each came crashing down. I either lost what was so valuable, or came to see my energy in them for what it was; needy, desperate, selfish, stubborn, childish..etc.
What I am committed to right now is relying on and knowing the love that lives within me and is always there. In my fierce desire to grow and transform I am taking on this challenge, regardless of how much it scratches and burns inside of me.
I am taking on a new path on this earth, to contribute to grooving the way so that more may follow.

believing other's beliefs as my own, whether they be: written in a book, spoken of in a documentary, an interview, or in person; taught in school or college. That includes my putting too much in how they see/saw me. truth comes from within. To listen to another's truth is valid, but to attach our own selves to THEIR truth is our own error. just as True Love comes from within, and, in my view point, same as GOD.
I loved reading your expression of what is within you, Gloria! May your path be paved with contentment thru-out!!!
