Rest on your laurels. They bring
comfort whatever
their size, age or condition.
Talk slower. Talk less.
Don't
talk. Communication
isn't measured by words.
Take time to think. Action is
good and necessary,
but it's fruitful only if we muse, ponder and mull.
Listen to the song of a bird . .
. the complete song. Music and nature are gifts, but only if you are
willing to receive them.
Give yourself permission to be
late sometimes. Life is for living, not scheduling.
Listen to the words you speak,
especially in prayer.
Watch and listen to the night
sky. It speaks.
Make time for play . . . the
things you like to do. Whatever your age, your inner child needs
re-creation.
Slow down; God is still in
heaven. You are not responsible for doing it all yourself right now.
When you find yourself rushing
and anxious, stop! Ask yourself why you are rushing and anxious.
The
reasons may improve your self-understanding.
Divide big jobs into little
jobs. If God took six days
to create the universe, can you do any better? |
