In the Beginning

Submitted by BobD on March 13, 2021 - 9:58am

I'm going to start something today.  I have some goals for myself to grow more healthy, physically, mentally, and spiritually each day.  Part of that is to document the ups and downs and the struggles and to encourage and connect with others seeking to be more real, more productive, kind, caring and generous.

Today's activities:  20 minutes of stillness meditation, 30+ minutes of exercise, read for 30-60 minutes, love my wife and do something good for her, hug my son who is coming home from college for spring break today, and apply myself to one of my various unfinished projects for an hour.

Thought for today:  "It is not so important that you should know about the fact of God as that you should increasingly grow in the ability to feel the presence of God."

Teach Peace to Have Peace

The first line is one of my favorite quotes... what comes after it is pretty good too.

"The only way to have peace is to teach peace. By teaching peace you must learn it yourself, because you cannot teach what you still dissociate. Only thus can you win back the knowledge that you threw away. An idea that you share you must have. It awakens in your mind through the conviction of teaching it. Everything you teach you are learning. Teach only love, and learn that love is yours and you are love." - ACIM
