3/1/05: Giving up

Sometimes the best thing we can do is give up.

If we've tried everything we can think of and everything others have thought of and still we struggle, perhaps it is time to simply give up and rest. We attend seminars, lectures, and workshops. We read books, listen to audio tapes, write in our journals. We meditate, pray, beg. We struggle, strive and toil and try, try and try day in and day out, year after year.

If you have tried it all and yet remain unsatisfied, the time has come to throw your hands in the air and give up your trying!

Like our body, our mind and spirit needs rest too. Even nature has its time of rest. There is a season for all things.

Give up your struggles and rest now. When it is time to emerge again, you will emerge fully energized and refreshed with a new sense of peace, strength and wisdom.
