The 4 D's of spiritual growth
"Strive to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. To be too wise for worry, too tolerant for hate, and too courageous to be fearful. In short, to be happy."

Reflect on this pathway for meaningful growth:
DISCIPLINE - To create change in our lives, we need to consistently focus on what we want.
DETACHMENT - Practice the art of detached observation. Let go of automatic defenses and patterns.
DISCERNMENT - Seek to discern the lower from the higher. What is self-serving and what is soul-inspired? Discernment carries no judgment. There are no goods and bads. Remain as a detached witness.
DHARMA - This is an East Indian word meaning "living your unique purpose." How do you find meaning and fulfillment in ways that are natural to you? How do you best serve and contribute to the world?
"If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness, and fears."

So many times it was easier to look at the "disturbance" in my life instead of take that journey inward to find myself. As I travelled that path, I took many detours because I often didn't like what I found along the way. I am so grateful for the God of my understanding who brought me back to where I needed to me, and set me back on the road to recovery. Not just from my addiction, but for my soul and all the dis-ease I had facing life on life's terms.
