Between the hurly burly of daily life and the Holmes Place or Silhouette memberships have you ever stopped to consider what might be your level of Spiritual Fitness?

See how many of the following affirmations you can answer positively.  If you can do so to all of them you may have more legs than the rest of us.   

If you can start the day without caffeine or pep pills

If you can be cheerful ignoring aches and pains

If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles

If you can understand when loved ones are too busy to give you time.

If you can overlook when people take things out on you when through no fault of your own things go wrong.

If you can take criticism and blame without resentment

If you can face the world without any lies or deceits

If you can conquer tension without medical help

If you can relax without the aid of liquor

If you can sleep without the aid of drugs

Then you are probably a dog.

Don’t be too hard on yourself if you did not get 100% at least you know you’re not a dog.  Indeed, the brain is designed to "compare", if not to others to how we think we should be.  The difference between how I should be and how I am can be referred to as a trance of unworthiness or a certain lack of spiritual fitness. This is the tip of the iceberg but I am wondering what interesting ideas, quotes or otherwise some of you may have on what spirituality means for you and how to improve one’s spiritual fitness.
