How to be spiritually healthy

When asked how to be spiritually healthy, Dallas Willard replied (after a couple of seconds of pausing),

"Ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life."

'and?'

"That's it, there is nothing else, ruthlessly eliminate hurry from  your life, it's the great enemy of the spiritual life."

We live way too fast and our bodies can keep up. It also doesn't help that startup culture frowns on sleep and lauds 16-hour workdays.

It's not a badge of honour to work and rush yourself to death.

Get some rest.

Pierre



PS: In that spirit, I'm going on a retreat this week.. will be back on the blog on Monday. Stay safe.
