Is Your Self-Worth Attached To External Things That Fluctuate?

Spiritual Growth Isn't Just A Straight Line Up To The Heavens
We all wish that once we are on the spiritual awakening journey and we are on our way up, that we would keep on going up and up and away. But in fact, the opposite usually happens. After a peak, there's always a valley. After a high, there's always a low to follow. Maybe even a plateau or two....
