Does Being Spiritually Enlightened Mean You Can’t Have a Bad Day?
“It doesn’t matter who you are: being human is being human. Everyone has days that are challenging.” Miranda Kerr
You pray. You meditate. You journal. You post inspirational quotes on your social media pages. You study the likes of Deepak Chopra, Tony Robbins, Wayne Dyer, Eckhart Tolle, Joe Dispenza, and Louise Hay. You believe in the power of love, peace, joy, and gratitude.
With all of that goodness going on, are you allowed to have a bad day, or get angry, or even have a contrasting opinion?
The school of thought with spirituality and enlightenment is to let it all go, be the observer of the emotion. Don’t interact with it. Be present. Forgive. Free yourself from the ego. Be joyful every moment of every day.
I hate to break it to you my friend, but you are human and shit happens.
I recently read “Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself” by Joe Dispenza and began his month-long meditation program. I’ve read all sorts of books and taken courses on how to be a better more enlightened human, which is what lead me to becoming a life coach and receiving my NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) certification.
