Dallas Willard said, to become the best of us, we must eliminate hurry from our lives. He had one reason: it is the great enemy of spiritual life in our days.
Dallas Willard’s definition of a spiritual discipline: The disciplines are activities of mind and body purposefully undertaken, to bring our personality and total being into effective cooperation with the divine order. They enable us more and more to live in a power that is, strictly speaking, beyond us, deriving from the spiritual realm itself. (Location 1257)
