Insight

Insight

Until today, you may have been caught up, put off, confused by the way things appear to be, you may have been fooled by the appearances of things and people around you.  Just for today, be devoted to asking for  and receiving spiritual insight into yourself and about all things.

Do Your Best

Doing our best involves the following factors:

• giving our genuine attention to the task
• getting input from others on how to do the job
• asking God for insight
• following through on what we agreed to do
• managing our expectations of how well a project turns out

Perfect Harmony

Blackwater Falls, WV

Those who strive to be perfect, though, are not so quick to believe everything that is said, because they understand human weakness, which is prone to evil and is slippery enough in words. (Thomas 'A Kempis, The Imitation of Christ, Book 1, Chapter 4)

Strain, struggle, frustration, tension, anxiety, compulsion, obsession and fear are the results you get when you are pushing too hard. (Iyanla Vanzant, Until Today! 11 March)

... insight alone is not sufficient to ... [solve a problem,] simply knowing that we have a problem does not solve the problem, although it helps. (Ratey and Johnson, Shadow Syndromes, p. 335)

... the anxious person may spend hours of his day ruminating about whatever worry currently lays claim to his soul. (Ratey and Johnson, Shadow Syndromes, p. 280)

When you are not in perfect harmony with yourself, you are your own worst enemy. (Thomas 'A Kempis, The Imitation of Christ, Book 1, Chapter 13, p. 100)
