Far Far Away




My body

is here,

my mind

is there,

and my

soul

is far, far away.

Three seems to be a magical number.

Me, myself and I.

Body, mind and soul.

"The longer I live the more convinced I become
that God governs in the affairs of men.
And have we now forgotten that powerful friend?
Or do we imagine we no longer need His assistance."
  ~Benjamin Franklin

It is hard to lose your body. You have physical senses that remind you 
that your physical being is a part of this world.

You can lose your mind. Been there, done that.

Forget your Higher Power and you can lose your soul.

Selfish, self centered, egotistical, self gratifying, mean, nasty, arrogant, 
crude, rude and obnoxious are the attitudes that drive our souls and 
our Higher Power,  far far away.

When our bodies, minds and souls are in the same universe
and on the same plane, we can be a whole person.

We cannot do the will of our Higher Power nor be of service to ourselves 
or mankind if we are not giving an effort that involves our entire being.

"My heart is just not in it" is to acknowledging that something is not quite right.

Our talents are our bodies, minds and soul working in harmony seeking
to do God's will to create peace and love in this world.

Today, keep it together,  so that your best talents will shine through.

Today, use your talents to make this world a better place for all.

Say what you mean and do what you say.

Live life in today.

Have faith and hope that a Higher Power will guide you to do the next right thing.

"Faith has to do with things that are not seen,
and hope with things that are not in hand."
   ~ Saint Thomas Aquinas

Lend a hand today and give hope to another.
You may think your body is not perfect and you may think that your 
mind is not perfect, however, in the eye of your Higher Power, 
the body and mind He gave you are perfectly capable of doing His will.

Most importantly, in the eye of your Higher Power, your soul is perfect.

Pray to keep it together, body, mind and soul.

"If the only prayer you ever say in your entire
life is thank you, it will be enough."
    ~ Meister Eckhart

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.
