The benefits of pursuing spiritual growth

We can willingly work on more fully accepting our self, spiritual growth, or have it forced on us.   I hurt my back when I insisted on believing playing tennis with my friends would give me the experience of feeling connected and being ONE that I craved.  As a result of the injury I couldn't play tennis for months.  Only when I realized I could experience the joy of being ONE, profoundly aware that I'm connected to and part of all that exists, by listening to myself, was there healing.  I've been back on the tennis court for more than a year after allowing the healing of self acceptance to resolve my back issues. Now, I'm working on accepting that focusing on listening more deeply to myself, allowing myself to trust being present, will result in valuing myself more.  I know the more I value myself, the more others will value me as a reflection of that self acceptance.  That will be reflected to me in greater income, greater contribution, greater joy peace and enthusiasm and a better life overall.  The way to facilitate this is to focus on my meditation and acting on thoughts that are imbued with the emotions I want more of in my life. The alternative to not increasing my meditation is to have increased problems and stress in every part of my life.  The more clearly I understand the situation, the more obvious the best course of action is.   I offer thought coaching.  If that's of interest to you, contact me at [email protected] for the particulars.
