On A Spiritual Joyride (Part 6) 

When we begin our spiritual journey, we should ensure that we don’t work on ourselves strictly. On the other hand, we should change ourselves with ease and lightness which gives us an experience of joy and does not let us get tired while making the effort to change ourselves. While looking at your weaknesses, do not feel disheartened that why they exist. Bringing about changes in your behavior and thinking is important but not at the cost of losing your happiness while doing that. Happiness is lost when there is sometimes loss of hope and doubts whether we will be able to succeed in changing ourselves or not, exist. In such cases, it is wise to be extremely patient and keep traveling on the path of self-change with determination and happiness, without getting tired. 

Also, a spiritual path is one in which there are different types of negative scenes in the form of difficult situations. These situations try to prevent us from experiencing fulfillment and even try to prevent us from fulfilling our life’s aim of making ourselves perfect. Even in such cases, a spiritual joyride is one we have to experience because we have to accept that spirituality does not mean that there will be no difficult problems on our path. Only the power to cross the problems will increase inside us, which will make it easier for us as compared to before. Also, stress which is a common response to a difficult situation will be changed to contentment and life will no longer seem as difficult as before inspite of all the negative scenes. This in short is a description of how living a spiritual life is the easiest and most enjoyable type of journey one could undertake for shaping up a new you and also inspiring others with that inner change.
