“Fundamentally, the spiritual way is not about what you gain.

You yourself are perfectly good as what you are.

Instead, the spiritual way is about what you do not lose.

You avoid losing your peace in the face of fear.

You avoid losing your love in the presence of suffering.

You avoid losing your clarity in the moments of anxiety.

You avoid losing your authentic presence in the supermarket of identities.

And that is enough.”

“If you can master and destroy the 12 enemies that you cannot see—egoism, arrogance, conceit, selfishness, greed, lust, intolerance, anger, lying, cheating, gossiping and slandering— you will be ready to fight the enemy that you can see. Know thyself.”

As your frequency upgrades and your intuition becomes stronger, you will notice how much other people’s energy actually affects you. The more spiritually attuned you become, the more sensitive you are to energy in general. Keep your circles pure,sacredandsmall.

“Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead to express his opinions courageouslyandhonestly.”

~Albert Einstein

“The truth that you believe and cling to makes you unavailable to hear anything new.”

~Pema Chodron

“Why be unhappy about something if it can be remedied?

And what is the use of being unhappy about something if it cannot be remedied?”

~Shantideva

EVEN THAT STEP BACKWARDS HAS A PURPOSE!

So, do not beat yourself up if it is taking you longer than you thought to change and make things better in your life.

There are no coincidences. What happened was destined to happen. Sometimes, it is too painful and too difficult to understand why, but the day will come, and the reason will be revealed to you. For now, all that you can do is trust in what is unfolding, and find inner peace.

“Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual’s conscious life, the blacker and denser it is. If an inferiority is conscious, one always has a chance to correct it. Furthermore, it is constantly in contact with other interests, so that it is continually subjected to modifications. But if it is repressed and isolated from consciousness, it never gets corrected.”

~Carl G. Jung

“Psychology and Religion” (1938).

“The Universe is already in tune with your heart’s desires. What works for your journey does not need to be explained to anyone else. You are heading in a direction that not many can follow. Keep your faith in the Divine at an all time high. Your lane is so perfectly designed; it is too unique for anyone else to fit into it. Remind yourself of all your strengths; mainly your ability to turn life lessons into life blessings. Your positive outlook and continuous gratitude is always going to place you in front of the finest, most rewarding gifts that life can offer. Staying true to your essence always makes it easier to win.”

~Esther T.
