Today we face innumerable problems. When the world seems to be very out of order, we tend to feel a corresponding out of control feeling. It is at those times that we need to center ourselves by thought directed encouragements. When was the last time you gave yourself a word or sentence that was supportive? Have you reassured yourself? Have you taken time to stop for a few minutes and divorce yourself from the world? Find a place within that you can retreat to and no matter how short the visit, make it one of peace and contentment.
