Choose Meditation Over Distraction

Meditation vs Distraction

Distractions lead to the
destruction of life

Meditation will ease
trouble mind

Moving through life distracted and never really taking a moment to think about the consequences of poor lifestyle decisions, character defeats and other diseased thinking often cause many to miss out on living a more fulfilling life.  You’ve heard the saying, “we miss the forest for the trees.”  Trees of opposition, ignorance, intolerance, fear, and all the other stuff that causes distraction will lead us astray.  There’s a much bigger picture and time is running out. Take some much needed time to meditate; allow God to open your mind to new possibilities and take you to new heights. It’s a matter of surrender. Sounds easy, well it isn’t. Surrender is never easy to come by and is often achieved after a strenuous battle with selfishness and self-will.  It can, however, be accomplished through constant unfailing prayer and meditation. Before beginning each day, take a few moments to cultivate the gift of gratitude.  Be encouraged and grateful to God despite any pain that may be coursing through your body; disappointment in others; bills that need your immediate attention – paid or not; dismiss it all – good and bad.  Focus your attention on being grateful you are alive.  Slow your mind, take several deep cleansing breaths and relax.  Your day is just getting started.  How would you like it to begin?  Remember you are in charge; you can begin with praise and gratitude or those same old weary complaints.  It’s entirely up to you.  Don’t allow the distractions of life to pull you off course.  God’s plan for you is much bigger than you can imagine. Meditation helps settle your mind preventing those distracted moments of unproductive thinking and unpredictable actions which cause greater harm than good.  “Adrienne Vanterpool”
