Some years ago I was complaining to an Elder that the Prophecies were too slow in being actualized. She looked at me and said, "You sure have a big ego!"
Somewhat taken back I said, "Why is that?" She said, " Why do you think that all of the Creators Plan is going to unfold in your short lifetime. Just do the best you can in your short life and leave the rest up to the Creator. The Creators Prophecies will be fulfilled, with or without you!"
