Despair is the ultimate form of self-worship -- the perception that you have the capacity to truly mess up, to take the world's destiny out of its Creator's hands and sabotage His plans. Know that the world is in a constant state of elevation, rocketing upwards towards its ultimate wholeness at every moment. Every quivering of every leaf, every subtle breeze, every slightest motion of any particle of our universe is another move in that same direction, Even those events that seem to thrust downward are in truth only a part of the ascent -- like the poise of an athlete before he leaps, the contraction of a spring before its energy is released.

There is not a thing you could do halt that dynamic even for a moment. True, you must take responsibility for your deeds and work hard, very hard, to clean up your own mess. But when all the dust settles, you are exactly in the space where you were meant to be: One step closer.
