There is only one thing you need do when you awake in the morning...stay calm. -- Anonymous
Isn't that wonderful? That was said jokingly, but in fact that idea is good, solid and unchanging for every second of our day. To stay calm is to trust that all is as it should be right this very minute. The way to begin to trust is to stay calm.
Resist not.
This may well be the very spot where we learn that we are the source of all our woes. The length of time we stay with all our woes is determined by how long it takes us to realize we are incapable of nonresistance all on our own. Of staying calm in the face of any disagreeable thing. That we must turn to a power greater than our self.
The answer is, was, ever shall be...away from the disagreeable (self) toward the agreeable (God). So simple. So hard. I suspect it's so hard because there is no razzmatazz in God...ego is all about razzle-dazzle, elevated blood pressure, havoc...God is calm.
When we learn that all we need do is make a decision...a decision to throw in with God heart, soul, body and brains...we lose our ego. We set our self free.
Thank you.
