Focus and Listening . . . Step Eleven

" . . . self examination, meditation and prayer - form a circle, without a beginning or an end. No matter where, or how, I start, I eventually arrive at my destination: a better life. . . when they (self examination, meditation and prayer) are logically related and interwoven, the result is an unshakable foundation for life."
