How To Escape The Rat Race (Fastest Method)

Often referred to as the inner voice of reason, our conscience acts as our inner compass, providing us with our own personal navigation system.

It’s just 9:00 am and you are already feeling hungry. Actually, you feel a lot hungrier than you normally do at this time of the day. There is no breakfast or lunch on the horizon and it’s not because your paycheque ran out. It’s the first day of Ramadan and you’ve welcomed it with dread.

As we commit to living purposefully, we discover an appreciation for the proper uses of “yes” and “no.” Simple as these words may seem, both carry a lot of weight… Often we perceive the word “no” to bear a negative connotation, and understandably so. After all, the word “no” is defined as a negative or an opposite. That being said, we need to look not at the word but at the context in which the word is used. In doing so we can determine if “no” is used positively or negatively. Our focus, however, should be not on that to which we say “no” but rather on that to which we say “yes.” This principle takes practice; but the more we master the art of saying “no” purposefully, the more we say “yes” to moving forward, “yes” to focus, “yes” to momentum, “yes” to harmony and “yes” to serving God.

In such an environment people can practice the three-legged stool disciplines and grow in the grace and mercy of the savior.

Our relationships with God, others, and ourselves – with life – always carry about them aspects of eternity; the ‘everyday’ issuing compelling evidence of an echo-through-the-age that resounds via the acts and inaction we engage in… the subject is the fact of eternity in our everyday experience. That is, the fact of God in the humdrum phenomena of life; the Lord of life interested and involved in every little thing.

It is often assumed when speaking of I or me that they are the same thing and we only use I or me depending on the correct grammar context. But I and me are different states of our being.

Many of us live each day one at a time. Without a clear and concise idea of the future that is ahead of us. No priorities. No goals. Just enjoying the benefits of life as it comes. But really? Why are we here? What do we need to accomplish before we go to what other’s would say as the “next life”? What is our purpose? Do we live only for ourselves? Or are we here for a better plan?
