1. LEAVE BEHIND ALL YOUR WORRIES FOR AWHILE AND ENTER INTO THE DEEPEST RECESS OF YOUR SOUL.

BE
PRESENT TO THE SPIRIT WITHIN, AROUND. CALM YOUR MIND, RELAX YOUR BODY, BE ATTENTIVE TO THE SPIRIT
LEADING YOU DEEPER INTO THE DESERT.

2. LIFE IS NOT ABOUT YOU. IT IS BEYOND YOU.

3. YOU ARE WHAT GOD WANTS YOU TO BE. DO NOT STAND IN THE WAY OF GOD.

4. LIFE IS DIFFICULT. DON’T SPEND YOUR WHOLE LIFE TRYING TO MAKE IT EASY AND CONVENIENT.

5. YOU ARE LOVED AS YOU ARE. DON’T SPEND YOUR WHOLE LIFE TRYING TO PROVE YOUR WORTH BEFORE GOD
AND OTHER PEOPLE.

6. WHEN YOU FEEL MOST ALONE AND TEMPTED TO RUN AWAY, STOP YOUR MIND, STAY AND BE STILL. ASK FOR
THE GIFT OF TEARS. TEARS WILL WIPE AWAY ALL YOUR SELF DOUBTS.

7. YOU ARE GOING TO DIE. EVERYTHING YOU HAVE, EVERYTHING YOU DO WILL ALL COME TO PASS. YOU BETTER
START LIVING BY LEARNING TO LET GO.

8. WHEN YOU WERE A CHILD, YOU THINK LIKE A CHILD, BEHAVE LIKE A CHILD, ACT LIKE A CHILD. NOW THAT YOU
ARE AN ADULT, YOU PUT AWAY CHILDISH THINGS.

9. GOING THROUGH THE DESERT IS NOT ABOUT HAVING BEAUTIFUL REFLECTIONS ABOUT YOUR LIFE. IT IS ABOUT
HOLDING YOURSELF INCLUDING THE UGLY, THE DIRTY AND THE PAINFUL WAITING FOR GOD TO TRANSFORM YOUR
WOUND INTO GIFT.

10. GOD IS A PATIENT LOVER TO YOU. HE ARRANGES THE EVENTS AND THE PERSONS IN YOUR LIFE IN ORDER TO
BRING YOU BACK TO YOUR TRUE HOME IN HIM. MAKE A RITUAL OF GRATITUDE.
