Be Still

During the moments when our life is filled with chaos, it is important that we be still. For if we are quiet enough and listen very carefully, we will hear our inner spirit direct us as to what needs to be done to create peace amongst the disruption. It is natural for our life to be filled with both challenging and rewarding times. Both of these moments can teach us so much, if we can also learn to be still when life gets uncomfortable. We'd like to fight or retreat when our life becomes trying, but that's when in the stillness we find serenity. Know that our spirit shines like a beacon in the dark guiding our way, when we are at peace. Today, be still. Although your life may be busy, take a few moments throughout the day to take a few deep breaths. Sometimes in moving too quickly you lose valuable opportunities to learn more about yourself. Be still and appreciate the day.
It's not difficult to be still when walking this path...

(Sometimes I need to listen to what I tell others. It's so much easier to know what is best, then to actually commit to doing it yourself. The act of stilling one's mind is challenging when you're moving in so many directions. But when I do become still, all seems so clear.)
