16th Rule of Thumb

If you bare your soul to strangers they just might try to steal it.

A Wandering Mind Leads A Lost Soul

Doubting oneself and one’s beliefs is a common foible of all creatures who have the ability to reason. Not everything in life is readily knowable or easily understood and no one can trust implicitly his or her own convictions at all times.

But conflicting mental patterns are the biggest barriers to success in life. Allowing your mind to be carried to and fro during the ups and downs of life’s struggles will almost guarantee your failure to realize the dreams and hopes of a lifetime.

Sustained thoughts and stable beliefs, especially regarding oneself, are the makers of success in life. Stay focused and believe in yourself and you will succeed in all your endeavors.

Beware of those with dark souls.

The world is riddled with people whose souls are bottomless pits which are traps for the unenlightened souls of others. They seek your life activity with their false praise and empty promises of wealth, power and acclaim. But they are the thieves of your destiny, which is to shine as an immortal being lighting the vast cosmos with your life experience.

Deny them passage in your life path. Shun those who have no inner light and let them be swallowed up in the realm of their own dark selves, which is the black universe they traverse and their short, chosen destiny.
