ok now I remember what I was going to say...

Have you ever heard that there is no growth is living a perfect life? I can't remember how it was said but something about living on an Island in bliss or something like that. Anyhow they said the real growth comes from those tough times in one's life...

any comments? thanks!



Well, let me put it another way. When you're up against the wall with health, bills, relationships, and the like, how much spiritual growth are you experiencing? How much time are you able to spend seeking your bliss? MOST people (I know some do thrive in living that way) are so busy worrying about making the next house payment, or fighting off some health issue, or just plain fighting with those around them that spiritual growth really has to take a back seat.

I don't know anyone whose life is absolutely and perfectly blissful 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, but if we so choose, we can tip the balance towards bliss, and in my opinion and experience, it is actually better for spiritual growth. The more you do this, the better life gets.
