Enlightenment is such an unreachable goal to most people. It is such a mystic experience that only people like Eckhart Tolle can achieve. I thought enlightenment could only be achieved through disciplined spiritual practices. It felt like a goal that I needed to attain in order to transform my life. Then, I realized…

The life most people know is full of pain and suffering. We learn to believe that pain and suffering are what help us grow. We have a shadow that’s constantly cast over our heads that follows us around. It’s like a tall wall that keeps building up around us. And it eventually starts to block the light that brought us to this world. This wall keeps getting taller and taller until it swallows us in a well of darkness and we struggle to climb our way out to see the light again. Some of us never make our way out and for those who do, a lot of them fall back into the well from time to time. The only way for us to not fall back into the well is to break the wall once and for all. Making the decision to confront your shadow is the first step to healing. This decision is showing yourself that you are worth it!
