Effort to Grow

Earn an income and enjoy the evidence of effort making. When we do a physical workout, we know we have made effort by the strain on the muscles and the sweat on the face. Effort is required to achieve anything. Effort is required to learn and grow. Evidence of spiritual effort includes the slight stretch I make to extend my concentration for one more second, and the ability to withdraw my attention from emotion or opinion and remain peaceful. Today let me enjoy making spiritual effort.
