The Inner Path: Activating The Soul Within

You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul. ~ Swami Vivekananda 


Looking outside of yourself for fulfillment bring only temporary happiness.  Whether it's money, losing weight, or falling in love, your happiness subsides and you begin looking for the next external element to make you happy.  Nevertheless, many people often believe something outside of themselves will make them happier. Have you ever told yourself you would be happier if you won the lottery, had a better job, lost weight, or found a new love? If so, you’re not alone.  But no more! Stop focusing on the external and take the real path to happiness... letting your soul determine what's right for you.  Here are the best alternatives to looking outside for happiness.

1. Learn to love yourself.  Love all of you, not just the parts of you that you like, or your ego, you know, that shallow fashionista that you are... no, learn to love the real you. The soul of you that is God-like... that spiritual, emotional, nature embodied in you. Your soul is pure love... pure, unconditional love. Your soul is the part of you that is of God. God is love... unconditional love. It allows yo to be happy without a reason to be happy... you know, being blissful. So make a conscious decision to activate your pure, unconditional love from within your soul.... just love you.

For others, spirituality is more personal:
