Daily Signet

Set aside your hopes, desires, dreams; wishing, wanting, needing, coveting, avoiding, seeking; goals, thinking, scheduling—and dive into joy. Set aside your pain, anger, spite, disillusioned trust, guilt, shame, resentment, despair—and dive into joy. Set aside your disappointment, appointment, sorrow, frustration—and dive into joy. Set aside your pleasure, succeeding, riches, renewal, restoration, friendship, delight, pride—and dive into joy. Set aside your safety, insurance, comfort, ease—and dive into joy. Set aside your truth, honor, right, righteousness, purity, loveliness, good repute, excellence, worthiness—and dive into joy. Set aside your tears, mortifications, purifications, sacrifices, holiness, awe, celebration—and dive into joy. Set aside your belief, faith, hope—and dive into joy. Set aside your fears—and dive into joy.
