I find that when I put my spiritual life first, the rest of my life is easy. When I put my career first, that's when I have problems.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My spiritual life is... sometimes I have access to it and sometimes I don't. When I do have access to it, it's usually a sense of my understanding what the best course of action or the best thing for me to do. By best, I mean when I have a real sense of doing the right thing and doing good for people and the connected universe of everybody.
A lot of people that embark on spiritual endeavors tended to, especially in the '60s and '70s, they tended to give up what they had before and cut themselves off from their lives, previous life as it were. But, I don't think that one should do that.
One way to define spiritual life is getting so tired and fed up with yourself you go on to something better, which is following Jesus.
I believe that having a spiritual life is so important in everybody's life.
If I keep God first in my life, if I keep my family and friends as second, and then I keep my occupation third, that's when I've found success.
If we have faith in Jesus Christ, the hardest as well as the easiest times in life can be a blessing. In all conditions, we can choose the right with the guidance of the Spirit. We have the gospel of Jesus Christ to shape and guide our lives if we choose it.
My life is extremely full and wretchedly busy, and I feel that while my life drains energy from my work, my work in turn drains energy from my life. The result is, I am always playing catch-up spiritually. That is my thorn.
Nothing in life is so hard that you can't make it easier by the way you take it.
The best part of one's life is the working part, the creative part. Believe me, I love to succeed... However, the real spiritual and emotional excitement is in the doing.
Like Yoga, the spiritual life is actually very difficult.
