Unblock your spiritual power.
You have to make the most of every day because no one knows if they will have the chance to live another dawn.
And to squeeze the most out of time and fulfill ourselves as people, it is essential to stay away from the main enemies of the spiritual path.
Here are the four main ones.
1. Doubt
Doubt makes all things take much longer than they should.
Doubt is the termite that gnaws away at the foundation of the wooden house that is your life. It eats up minutes, hours, and days. And when you want to realize it, you are still at the same starting point.
Doubt does not always have to be the child of indecision. Its father can be the excess of options.
Having many things to do and needing to know where to start is the perfect fertilizer for flourishing indecision.
The indecision produced by not having a defined hierarchy of priorities exhausts the spirit and the desire. And it closes the window of opportunity to achieve your goals.
Lesson: The antidote to doubt is action. Act, and then organize yourself as you see fit. Do one thing at a time, focus on it, and then the next: short steps, long view. Don’t forget.
2. Fear
Fear paralyzes. Fear leaves you at the starting block of the spiritual path, a prisoner of insecurity and shame.
Fear is a cruel mistress, which takes hold of you, promising you that you will be safe if you don’t move, and when you want to realize it, it abducts you against your will in the basement of social phobia.
Fear makes you weak.
And you can’t grow spiritually if you don’t get hurt. Reread it.
Because you can’t live spiritually, generously, and courageously by giving your heart and not getting hurt occasionally.
Having a little fear is healthy. But having too much fear pollutes your soul and changes your personality.
Being afraid robs you of power and character. Being afraid turns you into a puppet in the service of anyone who promises you some stability. — As if stability were something that someone could guarantee you.
Being afraid turns you into an ostrich.
A deserter of reality. It puts you in a hole where you don’t want to see what’s happening, let alone experience it. Fear can kill you in life.
Lesson: You are the salt that gives flavor to the earth. If you are afraid, your life will not bear fruit. And your seed will remain sterile. You came into this world to fulfill yourself and to flourish. And you will only achieve this by being brave and striving. Remember that you have nothing to lose — no one gets out of this life alive — and much to gain.
3. Negativity
Negativity is compulsively looking for the three feet of the cat to everything.
Negativity is putting down the solutions that even others in good faith give you to solve your problems instead of saying thank you.
Negativity is using perfectionism as an excuse.
Negativity is the favorite food of a wounded ego. The one that doesn’t want anyone ever to say, “I told you so, you failed.”
Negativity is synonymous with self-sabotage.
It is the fear of failure disguised as sanity.
Negativity is refusing to try something in case it doesn’t work and therefore taking away the possibility of it working.
Negativity is the fundamental trait of people with little emotional plasticity.
Negativity is the perfect excuse for laziness. It justifies not doing things and allows you to keep everything as it is and spend the day criticizing everything on the couch.
Lesson: The sea waters will open once you take your first step of faith. And for that, you need to trust that something good will happen. And you have to learn to see the positive side of everything so that faith will happen and transform you. Or you will never experience what spiritual awakening is.
4. Offenses
“May your house always be full of gentleness, peace, concord, humility and piety in your conversation.” — Padre Pio.
Offense kills relationships with your loved ones. It takes away your joy and love for your loved ones. It makes everything annoying to you. And therefore, it isolates you.
The offense is poison.
How we react to small daily offenses determines the quality of our day. Reread it.
Offense blocks your spiritual channels of manifestation because it blocks energy flow with your environment.
Offense makes you complain, and complaining prompts you to criticize others, making you vibrate low and attract scarcity into your life.
Living with a list of offenses exhausts you mentally, and that does not let you escape the black hole of resentment.
My grandfather always said, “The one who offends you tries to take energy from you, to vampirize you. Because by frustrating you, he takes away your good mood and well-being.”
And he was right.
However, controlling your emotions and reactivity will increase your spiritual evolution as you never imagined.
Lesson: avoid tense relationships; talk and clarify things. Avoid being negative and seeing problems and enemies where there are none. Avoid gossiping and criticizing others.
