Have A Blast Being Spiritual!

The one question often overlooked with those seeking enlightenment or personal development is "how good can you stand it?" Perhaps, the most important question to be asking is often the last to be addressed and falls between the book shelfs of self-help books. Well, why would one be asking such a question? Let's start there.

What does it mean, "how good can you stand it?" How about this: how good can you stand feeling good and for how long? How good can you stand having fun, without distracting yourself with another serious meditation or a process to fix another spiritual riddle? How about we start our conscious journey off right, go for the goal and whatever happens on the way is just part of the process?

I had this insight, one night, while talking to a fellow seeker of conscious living. We were discussing his intentions for this year (2008) and what he would like to experience as a measurable result by the end. However, he kept mentioning his interest in clearing up anything in the way of his ability to be more spiritual. And my next question, "but why?"

What does being more spiritual do for you? And this question I toss to you dear reader: what does being more anything do for you? What does having more do for you? What is the ultimate result? What is the measurable result you want? From work goals to relationship creation, what is the ultimate goal you want to enjoy?

Before asking yourself such questions, maybe take a Saturday night to go dancing and genuinely have a blast and then ask yourself such questions. Ask from a place of already answering them. If you don't like dancing, then try on the following commitment and see if it brings about some revelation. (Especially, you spiritual seekers!)

I commit to having a blast while enjoying my body and the divine!
