Grasp ahold of yourself.
I have spoken and written many times about acting and reacting. On the stage of life, are we reacting to the things that happen to us? Or do we stop, take a step back, take a deep breath and act out of the best of who we are.
From time to time we may find ourselves in a place that we do not like. Maybe I am, maybe we are too angry, too lazy, too worried, or too nervous about anything and everything.
If you are feeling this way, it may be a good time to go find some solitude. Go sit in a park. Go sit on your porch. Turn off the TV, tune out the noise of life. Grasp ahold of yourself, Return to who you wish to be. It can be done. As sure as we allowed the cares of this life to rush in, we can also find the quiet and the presence of God to calm things down again.
And once I find the calm, I am ready to re-engage life. Instead of life beating me down, I am ready to take it on and pour myself into the humans that God has given me in this life.

Thirty minutes of quiet alone time may just change your world today.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
