This morning I practiced a technique I wrote about in my book. I meditated for about 18 minutes. It was refreshing and usually it leaves me feeling more alive and closer to my spiritual center. Like I expressed in the book, meditation takes discipline and I wish I could tell you it’s easy to practice, but I can’t. It challenges your natural tendency to want to move on, and get the job done. But, meditation is just the opposite. It requires patience beyond belief because you aren’t doing anything, except patiently waiting. You might ask waiting for what? That depends on you intentions. When I meditate I want to get closer to my creator, and I usually will meditate after I have read part of a chapter in the bible or some other inspirational book.
I find for myself it helps me set the agenda for the day. I’m retired now, but I was able to follow this technique for a few years prior to retiring. If you think it will help you please try it. It doesn’t cost you anything except a little of your time. Speaking from experience I believe it will help you in so many ways. You will be more productive at work, you will find yourself in a better mood, and your attitude towards others becomes more positive. In my opinion I believe once we get closer to our source, our creator, we get closer to others, and we want to do right towards others. Give it a try, and I believe your life will be enhanced in so many ways.
Just remember to be patient with yourself, don’t give up! You must persist, anything in life worth it’s salt will not necessarily be easy. Stay strong, and God speed.
