Awareness of Devotion

Reflections on a resolution...
It’s time for me to make a resolution. My resolution: to build muscle… to build stamina. Strength and stamina to get me through challenging times. I won’t be working out at the gym though. The strength I speak of is spiritual strength. Spiritual stamina. The last month brought on a hustle and bustle of activities. Soon I found it difficult to turn off the egoic thinking that plagued my being. It was back. Sometimes you don’t realize how precious something is until you don’t have it anymore. My Peaceful Presence was fragmented at best. The ego had once again taken over my mind and fear returned to my being. I want to develop the spiritual stamina to stay present not just in quiet moments of solitude, but in the midst of activity and turmoil. My morning meditation and reflection will be a daily workout regime for my soul. |
I intend to commit to a daily morning meditation.
