Practice Makes the Master

This week, Rev. Patrick speaks on Don Miguel Ruiz' fourth agreement: "Always do your best." In fact, we are always doing our best---it is the only thing we can do! We must practice the other agreements---being impeccable with our word, not taking things personally, and not making assumptions. Part of practicing and doing our best is not putting ourselves down or working against ourselves. Putting yourself down does not lead to enlightenment, but thinking less does. We need to learn how to go beyond the rational mind and step into the trust---trusting and surrendering to that Greater Power that knows, and loves. There is nothing as powerful, or as sweet, or as rewarding... than the decision to love.
