24. 08 "Człowiek, który nie ma umiaru w dążeniu do czegoś, natychmiast staje się niespokojny w duchu"
1/2
Today a meeting with Thomas à Kempis, with the work "On the Imitation of Christ".
Is it worth being a slave?
And my addictions and enslavements, such as alcohol, drugs, sex, and other kinds of substances - that's an extreme dimension, but generally, that's how I perceive enslavements.
Thomas à Kempis tells me today that every disordered attachment ♥ to something - bad but also good - brings unrest to my ♥.
Does my ♥ turn to anything with greater love than God?
Do I carry in my ♥ all those other urges? Am I usually under the pressure of 'I must have this' or 'I must be some way'?
Do I feel peace then?..
What is the consequence of a lack of balance?
Where will I find a doctor for this one of humanity's greatest diseases?
Stop: I will look at my various desires, wants, and cravings today. Bad and good.
My ♥ is restless when it is not free and when it desires different things more than God.
It may be a day when I should limit not only evil but also good.
Give your ♥ the peace that flows from order.
*The words more or less come from the book by Adam Szustak OP “Szusta rano Przedkawowy pandowo-filozoficzno-śmieszno-filmowy codziennik motywacyjny”
The author writes: reading the daily journal, let us do everything so that our life is not just drifting from shore to shore, lazily bouncing off events and people, but that it is a true firecracker, 🌋 of good and meaning leading to salvation.

Business-wise:
The Holy Scripture as well as scientific research agree that wealth does not guarantee happiness (Isa 55:2; Luke 12:15, Matt 6:19-21).
..we exercise in the gym instead of going for a walk
.. we write emails instead of poetry
- from the book by Piotr Kwiatek "Love God and do not be afraid to be happy"
