Cease Striving

Sunday is the perfect day to just ‘be still’. It’s taken me a long long time to understand what that even means since I’m pretty much constantly in motion. What I’ve learned about myself is that stillness in me is more about my internal engine and about my thinking and about my ability to cease striving.

For successful people, getting to the goal line is a constant thought all week long. Sunday is different - or it should be. It should be because you have to exhale and relax. God set it up that way. Sabbath isn’t about rules. It’s about recharge.

Instead of trying to get somewhere and move the ball forward and accomplish stuff, on the sabbath I just try to do whatever the heck I want AND specifically NOT care what happens or where it takes me. It’s very much about the active stillness of mind. It’s about the motor idling and resting.

Plan nothing, think nothing, do whatever.

Is it just me?
