Changing Direction

Day 117

Affirmation:

My spiritual path is my own and of my own choosing.

Wherever I am is where I am meant to be.

I am open to changing directions if it will bring me closer to my authentic nature.

The journey of inner spiritual growth is a distinctly personal one.  There is no one right way.  What works for one may not work for another.  Even individually, a path that has been helpful for a time may start to feel constrictive and ill-fitting, and need to be abandoned.  Just as we outgrow clothes and need new ones, sometimes we must seek a new path, one that allows for continued expansion.  Many of us are seekers whose spiritual weight goes up and down like a yo-yo requiring frequent navigational shifts.  While some have a certain discipline and fidelity that allows them to stay with the same practice for their entire lives, many of us are of the clothes-changing type.  Both can be equally beneficial and it is crucial to honor one’s uniquely individual needs and allow oneself the freedom to change course if change is beneficial.
