What Is Your Priority Today?

Work with love, steadiness, and full attention on your priority for today. Remember that divine order permeates all that is. Cooperate with it.
Yogacharya Ellen Grace O'Brian

When I read this quote I thought about my priorities. As I made my list, I began to realize that my priority in life is what infuses everything that I do. My priority is to think, speak and act from a place of Self-knowing, from remembering who and what I am as a Divine being. It is not always easy to remember but my daily sadhana, my spiritual practice of meditation and prayer, continues to strengthen this knowing. This is the Divine light that infuses every thing and every moment of our life. There are times when I forget and react from a place of anger, frustration or fear. Because of my regular practice I am developing a better "muscle memory" for reacting from a place of peace and love and faith. When I don't know what to do or I am ready to to jump on the fear or anger train, I am able to pause and decide what I need to do in that moment so that I can be more responsive rather than reactive. Like having a regular exercise program to strengthen our physical bodies, our daily meditation practice acts to strenghten our inner knowing allowing us to live our lives, each day, in the highest way.
