Wind in our Spiritual Sails
Some of us want to develop our spiritual side but never seem to find the time to do it. Or maybe, we just never seem to be in the right mood for it. This is similar to the people who know they need to exercise, but say they can never find the time for it. The solution for both problems is similar.
We need to put some wind in our spiritual sails speaking metaphorically. We need to motivate ourselfs. The time complaint is simply a lie for nearly everyone, and I think we all know it, if we are honest. Experts say we have more free time today than ever, but we spend it watching television, surfing the web, etc. If we really want to do something, we will find time to do it.
The first step then is to set aside some time for spiritual development. It doesn't have to be every day. It can be just two or three days a week, at least to start. It doesn't have to be hours. Just ten or fifteen minutes is enough.
We then need to motivate ourselves to do it by simply reminding ourselves what we have to gain and what we have to loose, namely our eternal spirit and soul which may survive forever, but is lost to us if we don't take the time to develop it and integrate it with the rest of us while we are alive in a physical body, because once that physical body dies, it's too late.
