Realizations

I've realized that for me to be able to concentrate on my own spiritual growth I need to be free of worry and stress (at least once in awhile). I also need to have a sense of joy, happiness, love, and contentment as a part of my life.

Spirituality doesn't require that we sacrifice the necessities of life, such as health, financial stability, happiness, love and fun. these are important to our psychological well being, without which we run on survival mode and wouldn't be able to dedicate the emotional energy that a spiritual life/study needs.

Although if I didn't have the feelings of stress, anger, fear, resentment and yes even hatred at times, I wouldn't have the "Big Question" Why? and without it I most likely wouldn't bother to ask the smaller questions. We need to ask both types to further our growth.

It seems that our lives are a series of these questions and answers leading us to our final destination where ever and what ever that might be.

Short, but voluminous!!!

I've found "They" don't care if I am happy, sad or whatever, They have decided it's time for me to wake up and They go to all extents to make sure it happens, LOL! Crafty fellows, They are!

Thank you for this, it brought some peace to my mind for a moment and inspired something new! :)

Thank you Calling Crow and poetlorraine. I wrote part of thisa couple of years ago and put it away, sorting through my papers I found and finishe it, but thought that it wa to short. Then I realized that length is not how we measure breadth.

Nicely put ,it's just me,-and as for brevity ,some of the great speakers say if you can't get your message across in two minutes ,you've lost your listeners /readers-so well done for a succinct but worthwhile message.Heard you loud and clear.
