We all know people who make 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 a bad relationship, but cannot leave, perhaps your own child who, even though they know the consequences, cannot seem to get their homework done on time or meet that curfew.
It is a curious thing that once we begin profiting from these lessons life improves. Start showing up on time and tardiness as an issue disappears, fill the gas tank when the gauge dips below a quarter tank and never run out of gas again. Last roll of toilet paper, make a physical note to go to the store, putting it somewhere prominent, avoiding a rather awkward lesson later in supply and demand.
The Source, that Power Greater than Ourselves, God is always quietly urging us to learn, to grow, to progress along the path of enlightenment. So revisit the book on the table next to the bed that meant so much to you the last time you read it or start that one in the “going to get around to” stack. Living on the Spiritual Basis meditation is required if we are to progress, to learn 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 spiritual lessons we learn today stay with us, becoming part of the fabric of the whole cloth of our eternal true self. Therefore, focus on what is in front you today, learn from what is at your fingertips now and let tomorrow take care of its self.
