Question: I try to meditate, listen to audio books, and read the bible. However, I cannot keep myself in that changed state. I just keep sliding back into what I don't want. I go back to doing things that I hate. Please help me with this. I am tired of living in circles.
My reply:
Know that you can never permanently "solve" or "fix" what you are describing - it is the nature of life.
Dealing with those situations will always require a daily effort - a daily re-commitment to your values, daily meditation, daily renewal.
People often say that motivation doesn't last.
Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily.

What Ziglar said about motivation applies equally to inspiration.
May the world be kind to you, and may your own thoughts be gentle upon yourself.
