Lane's Affirmations

I am perfect as I am, as I truly am at my core. My challenge is not to be better.
It is to more often live in, and from, the center of myself.

~~

I breathe, therefore I am. And it is enough.

~~

At this moment, I have all I need.
I lack for nothing; I am complete.

~~

I cannot live in the past;
I can only dwell on it.
Instead, I will live in today.

~~

Today, I will give my best
to everything I do
and to everyone I meet.


Thoughts to Consider

If prayer and passage meditation are talking to God, silent meditation is listening to God for the answers. After prayer or passage meditation, I always sit, at least for a few minutes, in silent meditation in case God has something to say to me.

~~

I can never change the past, but I can learn from it. I can only change my future by what I do today. It seems to me, then, the best thing I can do is focus on this moment, this task, and bring my spirit to bear.
