To find the higher ground you must first find something to believe in. To believe in something can take you from being just one of the many to all that anyone every needs to be. Once you have done this stand up tall, strong, brave and resolute! Let no storm, fool or bully dissuade or knock you down.
Next look around and see where you are standing. Look to the stars. Find the wisdoms in the heavens Never stop learning what humility can teach you. Always look for the right things to believe in—- not just the simple or popular. If you do this you will see if you are standing on solid ground not some quagmire. You cannot reach the higher ground if you are sinking.
To find the higher ground you have to find the right path and stay on it. This is not easy—- you can get lost, stumble or go in the wrong direction—- but with enough time, heart, thought and willingness to change when appropriate you will once again stand tall, walk the right path and find the peace and delights of higher ground.
