William LePar’s spiritual source, The Council, suggests that we reach out after we have looked inward.

The Council: There are many who have great inner energies or powers that were given to them to use for the uplifting and development of others, but many fail to bring them about. They become self-centered. They withdraw into themselves thinking only of their own spiritual development. This is wrong. One only develops by extending oneself. True it does take one to turn inward to find this. Once this is brought out, the inward is no longer necessary. Reach out to those who need help. In doing so one learns the process of growth and development. For only by doing for others can one gain for oneself. You are at the threshold of a new life, if you choose to cross it. It will demand much patience, much work, and much sacrifice.

Do not fear that you cannot accomplish this, for no task is taken on that one is not fortified far beyond need.

For each who takes a position, the Plan of the Infinite Father is also given strength. In case one chooses not to overcome all those karmas that may or may not be for them to accomplish, whether they choose through their own selfishness to go their own way, they will not interrupt the Infinite Plan, for others are ready to replace, so one must feel that they are strong enough to accomplish. Your Father is a loving Father. He guarantees you all that you need and then some. All this knowledge is written. It is only the physical frailties that prevent you from knowing it. This goes for each and every individual. Some of these frailties are as lessons. They build strength of the spirit.
