Are You Out of Touch With Yourself?

If you are out of touch with yourself, how can you touch anyone else? We need to make sure we know who we are, where we are and where we need to be to be able to reach out and touch others in their lives.

I am running so crazy so much of the time that I think sometimes I lose myself -- not that I am some place where I don't know where I am literally, but that I don't really know how I feel much less why I feel the way I do.

I have found that if I take just a few minutes each morning on my way to work to just spend in quiet contemplation and meditation and prayer with God that my day and the plans of my day are much clearer. I find that even when unexpected things happen that they don't make me feel lost. I have gotten in touch with myself early and I know where my focus needs to be each day. It is only then that I can reach out and touch others because I can see more clearly the spiritual needs of others.

Today, spend a few minutes of quiet meditation and prayer and know where you are in your own life so that you can see the spiritual needs of others around you.

Until later,
Charlene
