The way we measure our spiritual progress is not in how
much money I give or who I can quote, but in how many times I get
disturbed in the course of a day. Do I smile and am I
lighthearted or do I grumble and complain? That is the measure of
spiritual progress and no other. But how to attain it, that is
the question. The answer is awareness. To begin, we must
make a decision not to harbor negative thoughts. When a coworker
is getting on my every nerve today, I must recognize that maybe I was
more tolerant a week ago and he would not have effected me this way if
I was in a different space. By choosing not to judge or
criticize, I can remain peaceful and calm. The problem more often
is in me and not in the other person. Secondly I must not allow
other people to dictate my mood. No matter what another person
says or does, I can choose to remain happy and focused in my job and in
doing so make progress and be an asset to the company by not letting
another person bring me down. By recognizing I have power over my
life I can become a dynamic force in the company and in life as
well. EOM
