Again and again you have to return to your center. Your center is what drives you–down deep inside–your mission statement. Your center is not something you can keep forever.
You have to return to it over and over. It is so easy to become “lost”. There are so many things that can distract you–divert your attention.
In order to return to your center one has to be quiet. ‘Be still and know I am God’, Proverbs in the Bible says.
The only way you can find your true center is to stop–be quiet long enough to prayerfully, thoughtfully determine what truly matters in your life.
In fact that is what the Sabbath was designed for–to stop your routine–to be quiet to get off your treadmill and reevaluate your life to make sure what you do truly fulfills your mission.
This whole discussion, of course, assumes you have found your center–your driving force. Finding your center is really another discussion.
The point is is you continually have to stop periodically to find your center again. It is so easy to get off track. Being still gives you the opportunity to get back on track again. And it has to be done over and over.
