Summary

This quote suggests that when an individual views their life as a journey towards spiritual growth and improvement, they are not afraid or anxious about the occurrences happening around them. By prioritizing their inner development and understanding that external events are temporary and often beyond their control, they are able to maintain a sense of inner peace and stability. This mindset allows them to navigate challenges and uncertainties with resilience and a greater focus on their own personal growth rather than being consumed by fear or external circumstances.
