The big city is often referred to as a jungle, an asphalt jungle. But there is another jungle that is far more important to you, that is a jungle within yourself—a jungle ofinfluences, persuasions, decisions and regrets, a jungle of unfulfilled desires, a jungle of fantasies—a jungle.
The problem with a jungle is that it surrounds you; it prevents you from moving. Itprevents you from having a clear direction, for in the jungle [within you], you have no direction. There is no direction.
But that’s a real problem you see because you were actually born with a greater purpose for being in the world, and a greater purpose requires a greater direction. You are born, therefore, with a destiny: something to move towards, something to fulfill. This is not the product of your wishes or your preferences, or the wishes of others for you, the wishes of your family or the values of your culture. This greater direction, this greater purpose, this greater destiny was given to you before you came into this world. It lives within you now, waiting to be discovered.
