THE WORLD IS A SCHOOL

We all know the man or woman who makes the same mistakes repeatedly. Perhaps you have seen them in the mirror. The alcoholic, who forever is swearing they will do better, yet is all lit up again. The smoker, who has talked about quitting for years, yet continues to smoke. The friend or loved one in an abusive relationship, but cannot leave it. Perhaps your own child who, even though they know the consequences, cannot seem to get their homework turned in on time. We have opportunities to learn daily, some days the lessons coming fast and furious. It is a curious thing that once we start showing up on time tardiness as an issue disappears. Fill the gas tank when the gauge dips below a quarter tank and never run out of gas again. When you start that last roll of toilet paper, make a note to go to the store and avoid that rather awkward moment, especially if you do not live alone. Spiritually, read that book on the table next to the bed or sitting in that stack of books “you are going to get around to.” Living on the Spiritual Basis meditation is not suggested, but required if we are to progress in any real way. If you are not meditating daily, why not? What could possibly be more important than spending a few minutes with God? The Source, that Power Greater than Ourselves, God is always quietly urging us to learn, to grow, to progress along the path enlightenment. The lessons we learn spiritually stay with us, once learned becoming part of us, part of the fabric of the whole cloth of our true self, eternal. So learn what is in front you today, let tomorrow take care of its self, spend a few minutes with that spiritual book by the bedside.
