If you consider the following statement: "Stop wrestling with the angels and accept your greater good," your greater good is to solve your problems, not create more.

This might include thinking your way out of a situation by creating a new image for yourself and developing a new state of consciousness, as well as changing your mindset.

The expression "greater good" in a traditional context refers to the idea that you are doing something that may not benefit you directly but will benefit many people, a community, or even the human race. This expression is often used in political, religious, or philosophical contexts.

"Accept for the greater good" means accept for the benefit of the public, for more people than oneself; that which is better and more correct.
