Spirit works on a full-time basis.

Life requires that we spend parts of our time doing certain things.  We work sometimes, go to school at times; we are children or parents and friends part-time.  The one area of life that cannot be addressed on a part-time basis is the spiritual life.  To be a part-time Christian, Buddhist, Muslim or anything else results in "a house divided against itself," which cannot stand.  The spiritual house is the mind and it requires constant care.  Spiritual conviction is the manner in which the house is run.  When you have a spiritual conviction, it will serve you in all situations, all day, every day, in every way.  The same spirit that guides your family life must also run your social life.  If you turn to spirit for financial guidance, you must also ask for professional guidance.  If you let spirit pick your friends, you must trust it to pick your mate.  Part-time spirituality creates inner turmoil, in-decision, confusion and stagnation.  Once we let spirit take over full time, we will find life is more enjoyable and peaceful than we ever thought possible.

I let go and let spirit guide me every day in every way.
