On Spirituality

When people ask me how they can lead a more spiritual life, I like to turn the question around and deconstruct it into: “how can you lead a more awakened spiritual life?” For some people, spirituality is rooted in their religious beliefs. However, my definition of spirituality is inclusive of anything that allows you to tap into your true, authentic self that is in alignment with something that is greater than yourself--some call this ‘God’, some call it the ‘higher power’, and others call it ‘nature.’

Knowing we are spiritual beings is the starting point for living a purposeful life. Knowing that we are children of ‘God,’ or a ‘higher power’ is such an amazing awareness. It should be noted that when I speak of ‘God,’ im not talking about the bearded man upstairs; I hold ‘God’ to be inclusive of all things [God is All]. Being conscious of the fact that the ‘It’ that made flys and mountains, rivers and stars, also made you is an such amazing understanding. It means that the fact that you were born, and that you are here on this earth as a human being is nothing but grace.

There is no one in creation like you. Nobody. And the fact that you are here, matters. What you have to offer the world is like none other! No one can bring a level of uniqueness and authenticity like only you can. So, it seems to me, that we must honor ourselves and be as truthful with ourselves about ‘why we are here,’ ‘who we are,’ and ‘what we were meant to bring the planet.’

Living a Meaningful Life

In creating this blog, I was reminded of all the media content that’s generated in todays globalized world. Some of it is truth, whilst most of it is a distraction from real issues ailing the human race. My intent in creating this blog is simple-- yet is made complicated by the distractions we create in our minds-- to lead the most meaningful, sustainable, and joyful life possible. 

I firmly believe in the power of sharing, and know everything is better when you can share it with others. The sharing of stories is a practice that humans have engaged in for thousands of years. Some stories are shared through written manuscripts/texts, and others are passed down through oral tradition. But what all stories have in common is their ability to make us think about the human condition in alternative ways, to teach us something, or to make us self-reflect on a particular aspect of our lives. 

My only hope for creating this blog is to share some of the wisdom and information that I have gathered through my own life experiences and those of others in a way that someone, somewhere can have a moment of clarity, or transcendence, on the path to a meaningful life.
