What in the world do I have to remind myself of? The answer is simple: all the practices and words of wisdom that enable me to be my best self! Goodness, I fall short all the time. Every day I find myself having to pick my shabby little ego up to straighten it out for some reason or another. You see, I want to be "my best self" at all times. That, however, is an impossible expectation. I believe in the saying, "It's progress, not perfection". Our journey through life is a path toward perfection, guided by spiritual practices to keep us on track. However, we stray, trip and stumble along the way. When I am conscious of falling short or teetering off-balance, I search within myself for the inspiring salve I need to get myself right again.
Through the years, I have collected many words of wisdom and learned practices that have set me straight and have restored my soul to a state of balance. I love to dispense my spiritual medicine to others, then realize it is me who needs to take it! I often notice others sharing spiritual wisdom while the words they broadcast are what they hunger for in order to heal themselves or progress to becoming their "best selves". This blog is intended to help me stay on course while I trudge the path of my life journey. Each post will deliver the "remynder" I need at that moment to regain my balance and spiritual composure. Maybe something will resonate within you, too.
Today's "remynder": Do not limit myself by having low expectations. There is so much I can (and will) achieve by raising the bar of the belief I have in my talent and ability. (Inspired by the "How to Become Batman" installment of the NPR "Invisibilia" podcast.)
