Tapsearch Com EditorAre self improvement and self advancement the same thing.
All anyone wants is to have a feeling of being all together in one place at one time. Time tells us we are here on earth on a temporary basis but still we yearn for more. We want to know where we were and where we are going.
One must know the basic facts of his life's progress in order to direct it. We are the director of our life ideal. We also know we are finite and limited in many ways and look for other entities that are not. We need to trust and cooperate with our creator and hopefully receive grace or something extra we do not have in the process.
Self-improvement is a law of nature. It is self evident. It makes us tend toward perfection. It makes us to make good judgments of what self-improvement is. Self-improvement and self-advancement go hand in hand but are not necessarily the same thing. Self-improvement is about the individual person seeking things that make him a better person down deep in his own soul. Self-advancement is tied into this but we all know many who advance at the expense of others. Personality and Character are things above and beyond such relative things as advancement in social and economic standing, in fact they are almost apart from it.
I have studied St Franics DeSales. In one biography, it tells about a Bishop who was in search of his own spiritualiy, came to visit him and the Bishop cut a hole in the wall to observe DeSale's in his own room to see if De Sale's was the same when he was alone as he was among people.
We are attracted to people who seemed to be happy at no matter what they are doing. We watch a worker who is happy at their job without worrying about self-advancement. A good personality is a happy one. All the grace we seek or intervention from a superior being is based on seeking good over evil. There is a place in this world for everyone. Being the right man or woman in the right place is likely to be a happy person.
I worked on the factory floors while going to college and had a very difficult time connecting the college class room with the many wonderful men I met in the factories. I met many people in my life up to Generals in the Army, Presidents of corporations and "saintly" priests but the two foremen in the factories probably had the most impact on my life. This prompted my advocacy over the years to find ways for workers to have a voice in their destiny on earth and not be subject to an elite class because of false rankings in society. In my last post about "unnetted journeys" I pursue this. It is a fortunate person who knows where he can be happy and has the sense to remain there. However, their destiny should not be limited by artificial man made classifications that do not match up with their natural and divine destinies.
We will pursue this futher in continuing posts. Life is, after all, a quest for happiness. A successful life is one in which we measure a large participation in happiness while we judge the opposite as a failure. We all get to meet our Creator eventually on a one
and one basis. What will you report? The Cross was always there but so was "Living in the Resurrection".
