What am I living for? What is keeping me from living fully for that?
Practicing staying focus on today is beginning to give me a wonderful and very pleasant surprise.
Staying focus on today has rewarded me in ways that I totally never expect after doing this for some time.
I was losing sleep and rest, and I was losing more money recently.
I have to sacrifice my sleeping time on my off day to monitor the contractor who were doing a major repair in my home.
I have to spend money on new purchases to make life comfortable for everyone staying under the same roof.
It was not my plan, but I did not resist the change when it happens.
I simply do what I need to do. In the end, it was worth it.
Doing the right thing is always the right thing!
I was grateful and thankful. I did not think I could do it. It makes me feeling very happy.
Spiritual disciplines are habits, practices, and experiences that are designed to develop, grow, and strengthen certain qualities of spirit — to train the soul and build the “muscles” of one’s character.
They can help a person to increase their ability to:
1. Delay gratification
2. Receive insight
3. Hear my inner voice
4. Make better decisions
5. Remain centered and unaffected by external events
6. Demonstrate moral courage
7. Detach from distractions
8. Feel inner peace
9. Behave unselfishly
10.Act with practical wisdom
11.Follow one’s own course
12.Endure hardship
13.Forge good habits
14.Conquer the worst parts of yourself
I am beginning to recognize all the benefits mentioned above. It is so very true.
