Starting Out

What are we searching for in our lives? What is it we feel is lacking in our lives? We may have a happy family life, a lovely home and a job we love but still there is something missing.
Just what that missing something is can be hard to determine and can take many years to discover. This I believe is why we eventually start out on our spiritual path not knowing what we are looking for or where we are going.

It can take a lifetime to realise that there is something more we need before we eventually, even begrudgingly, start out on our search. Once we make that decision to head off down our spiritual path we soon discover that every person we meet along the way is our teacher. We discover too that every situation, good or bad, is a lesson we need to learn.

Our whole life is in fact a journey along life’s path but until you do it consciously you don’t realise you are on a spiritual path back home. The moment this happens you start to notice the teachers and lessons they are bringing to you. You realise that until you learn those lessons you will be faced with more teachers bringing you the same lessons over and over till you do!

All paths are valid ways to guide us back home and no one way is better than another. Everyone’s path is unique and doesn’t need to be the same as anyone else’s. What is right for one person may be wrong for someone else, so never compare yourself to other people.

The one thing we must do is to love ourselves above all else. Once we start to do this we can then see others as love and start to remember that we are all connected. We are all one.
