“…Learn to silence the chattering of your ego, whether through prayer, meditation, or a long walk in the park. Find that place where you can detach from the pressures of the world. Find that place where your body and spirit work together in harmony…You don’t need the right car, the right shoes, the right girlfriend to be complete. All you really need is to be yourself. Your spirit is the real you. Let it guide you…Be still. Listen to your spirit say, I am, and I am enough. In the silence, you’ll hear God…”
– Melody Beattie “Listen to Yourself”

Yes indeed..In silence, I will hear God and he will lead me the way to my path.
Hi Jenny, thank you.
Why am I not surprised that one of my favorite quotes – and thoughts that I try and repeat regularly – would appear on my favorite blog?
Really, your favorite quote? It is KARMA!
Probably one of the most important things we can learn from the bible. Be still and know that I am (GOD) is in control. GOD is amazing.
I’m still working on it…daily battle…
I am trying. Thanks for the inspiration. I will share your note with others – important message. – Michael
Me too Michael. Me too….Thanks
Beautiful thought, thank you.
Thanks Marion

Being silent is getting to be more and more important for this chatty ol’ lady all the time. My recent Lenten Journey with some others online is now being reinforced by my own recognition of how easily I foolishly allow my own peace to be disturbed by conversations around me. I am praying and meditating to strengthen my ability to maintain more time of just BEING.
“disturbed by conversations around me.” Many of us are afflicted with this…thanks as always Granbee for sharing your thoughts.
This was so beautiful and calming I had to share it! You have such wonderful things on your blog. I wish I had found it sooner: )
