Complacency

"You are always discovering something new, or you ought to be, because it's complacency that's the killer." - Jennifer Aniston, Emmy award-winning actor

Complacency is not one of my favorite words. The definition from Webster's is an instance of usually unaware or uninformed self-satisfaction. This is something I have dealt with in the past. I've experienced periods of time when I've gotten complacent about life. I let up on doing the things that make me a better person and help me grow emotionally and spiritually such as praying, meditating, sharing with friends, and helping others. Then I start to wonder why I'm not feeling joyful or spiritually fit. I tend to stop doing the things that work for me because it sometimes feels like "work" and I convince myself that I deserve a "break" every now and then.

The truth is that it's not "work" and taking a "break" is not good for me. All of the tools that I use to stay emotionally balanced and connected to God always make me feel better. I lapse into laziness from time to time and that's not in my best interest. Fortunately, I have some wonderful people in my life who never hesitate to tell me when it's time to get with it.  I love them for that! Today I pray that I will not be complacent in any area of my life, that I might throw my entire self into this gift of life.

Have a great day everyone! Namaste.
