Bonjour Friends
I don't know if it's the effect of my education or an early intuition, maybe some past life memory? I just know that as far as I can remember, I've always been a highly committed person, a hard worker.
Since the day I started school, I've always given 100% of myself, and not only for the things that I loved or felt comfortable with but as well the others.
I was taught that "Discipline and Perseverance" help us to perfect ourselves and allowed us to test true freedom.
After all: Did we not ask to come in this world to earn "The Light"?
In this journey, without even learning about it, I also knew that we needed to give a place to everything:
"Body, Mind and Soul" are one ensemble that required equal work and interest. They are like muscles that support each other.
Talking about muscles: after having a stiffed neck for days, I realized last week that it was time to give back a place to my actual muscles in my schedule.
As I mentioned it in the past, I used to run in high school. Back then, I could run the equivalence of 10 football field in less than 20 minutes.
So...Monday, I decided to run again. Right?!
I went to the football field, close to my home and started running. The truth, I could hardly finish the first straight line, I had to walk...I then decided (not without a little pinch in my heart) that I would start slowly, walking maybe 3 times a week for 30 minutes and see what will happen from there.
Why am I telling you this story?
Spirituality in lots of ways is like running a marathon.
1-Spirituality require discipline and commitment. It's not like "a class" to add in our curriculum.
2-Spirituality must become part of us: a consciousness to give the best of ourselves at all time.
3-The more we practice, the stronger we get. In the spiritual language, it's called: "expanding the vessel".
4-Finally, if we think we had fallen, it's only a trick of you know whom? ( the opponent voice in our head, of course!)
When an athlete gets injured, he knows it might take time but with perseverance and discipline, he would get back where he was and possibly even higher.
On Wednesday, I walked for 30mn and run an extra field without even a stop, in addition I received the inspiration from this week blog!
Do you still have doubts that we will make it ?
What are you waiting then ? Put on your sneakers: Together let win the spiritual marathon of life and bring the gold/Light back home.
Sincerely, Ilanit.
