"When self examination, meditation and prayer are logically related and interwoven, the result is an unshakeable foundation for life.”  

 

This is what we are trying to accomplish each day, each week - “an unshakeable foundation for life”.  That my friends, takes daily work - self inquiry, meditation, prayer, movement and the like - you pick what works for you knowing its all inter related.  If you read self help books, pray and meditate but you don’t move at all and you eat and drink non nourishing foods you will not get that strong foundation of life.  Likewise, if you work out, run, walk, do yoga, eat well and you leave out the prayer, the mediation and the self inquiry - once again you are missing out!  Important to note, we won’t do this all perfectly and we will be shaken off of our foundation, but the more effort we put in the stronger our inner and outer fortitude will be.  We will hit bumps along the way, but we will know what to do to come back to our true selves and our strong foundation.  I am cetainly bumping along these last few months and not doing life perfectly, but I am trying and I am moving forward, learning along the way.

 

"Dear God, please help me recognize that I am moving at exactly the right pace, that I am right where I need to be, and that I will move on with your help and guidance when I’m ready. Amen.”  Maria Shriver
