Take a moment right now and pay attention to your mind. What is it doing? I’d bet all the cash in my wallet, let’s see… 32 bucks that it’s spinning like a washer in its final cycle; going round and round, cycling through the same tired stories and stressful thoughts…

The key is in realizing that we choose our perspective — “I’m leaving spirituality!” I saw one person declare belligerently on a spirituality forum recently. “This isn’t working! I’ve been spiritual and the world is still a horrible place.” I wasn’t sure how to interpret this, are spiritual practices supposed to make the world change? I see this type of question…
