Return

“We must go beyond the constant clamor of ego, beyond the tools of logic and reason, to the still, calm place within us: the realm of the soul.” – Deepak Chopra

The unrest and uncertainty is not the yearning for more but for true and lasting meaning. Our soul invites us each day to start and finish in quiet reflection, to find joy and awe in the moments that make up our life. We mistake solitude for loneliness, fearful of what we may hear and what we may be called to do about it. Listen and do something about it.

Each day, I pray that I will choose:

Gratitude over regret;
Action over inaction;
Optimism over cynicism;
Civility over aggression;
Kindness over selfishness;
Hope over despair;
Laughter over drama;
Risk over complacency;
Light over shadow;
Love over apathy.

Return to yourself each day so you can enter the world with clarity, peace and purpose beyond yourself. Return.

“The mind ought sometimes to be diverted that it may return to better thinking.” – Phaedrus
