Achieving or Receiving?

Written By Andrew Thomas

I have found that "peace and rest in a hurried world" is more received than achieved. Here are a few ways I am growing in receiving peace and rest:

  • Early morning quiet time and solitude
  • A good night's rest and some swimming, running and stretching a few times per week
  • Making daily progress little by little, rather than striving too hard
  • Living in the moment, treasuring relationships and shared memories
  • Having a mindset to more of a creator than a consumer
  • Thinking of life as an epic story, an adventure to live, a beautiful film in living color

This was a great exercise for me, and more thoughts will probably follow. How about you? What things are helping you receive "peace and rest" today?
