REMEMBER YOUR SPIRITUAL SIDE
Posted On 03/10/2010 09:24:41 by KeithB

Remember your spiritual side

Just back from a great vacation in Dothan, Alabama. If you are a golfer and looking for great value, I'd highly recommend the Dothan National.

Every time I travel, I am reminded how important a spiritual life is to my enjoyment of life. While I personally don't darken the doors of too many churches, I've enjoyed a week or so away where concious contact with a Higher Power I have come to know was at a very high level. Today in going through my email, I was pleased to get the following from my coaching mentor, Dr. Randin Brons.

I hope it gives you something to ponder!

"The function of prayer is not to influence God, but rather to change the nature of the one who prays." -- Soren Kierkegaard



Reminding ourselves often of our spiritual natures truly changes the quality of our lives. It helps us relax, slow down, lighten up, and generally find more space and joy in life.

When we get down on ourselves or life, we can pull back and ask, "How might my soul regard this situation? What am I being invited to experience?"

This shift in perspective helps us let go of the resistance that always comes with negativity. As energy once again begins to flow, our outlook brightens.

"Spirituality is the sacred center out of which all life comes, including Mondays and Tuesdays and rainy Saturday afternoons in all their mundane and glorious detail. ... The spiritual journey is the soul's life commingling with ordinary life." -- Christina Baldwin

"It is not my business to think about myself. My business is to think about God. It is for God to think about me." -- Simone Weil

Nothing is more satisfying and encouraging in our relationship with our Higher Power than to be able to "offer things up", let them go and then to relax, and watch the spiritual intervention in our difficulties.
