Faith Venture

We have a story. All of us.

We tell ourselves that we are the type of person who likes certain kinds of food. And that it is OK to over-indulge in them, healthy or not.

Our story is that we are the type of person who exercises and is fit. Or not…

Worse, we allow stories from outside us to capture our story.

Facebook changes our story to someone who supports certain politics. Or our story becomes one of consumerism.

Other people tell us what they think our story should be.

And we allow them.

Our spiritual discipline is to ground our story in our values, tried and tested by generations of spiritual masters.

That is why using consistent meditation to ground is in the present moment is so important.

Take care to know and develop your own story.
