Writing a diary every evening before going to bed is a good habit. We can record in the diary how much time we have devoted to our spiritual practice.

Surrender means accepting this moment, this body, and this life with open arms. Surrender involves getting out of your own way and living in accord with a higher will, expressed as the wisdom of the heart.
