What is spiritual maturity?

It’s when we stop trying to change others

and focus on changing ourselves.

It is when we accept people as they are.

It is when we understand that everyone is correct

according to their own perspective.

It is when we learn to “let go”.

It is when we are able to not have “expectations” in a relationship,

and we give of ourselves for the pleasure of giving.

It is when we understand that what we do, we do for our own peace.

It’s when we stop showing the world how smart we are.

It’s when we stop seeking approval from others.

It’s when we stop comparing ourselves to others.

It is when we are at peace with ourselves.

It is when we are able to distinguish between “need” and “want”

and we are able to let go of that want.

inquiry for today~ how will you take love with you?

melting heart……

It’s not life’s job to make me happy. It’s my job to find the joy in life by observing

and appreciating the small wonders and everyday miracles

that are all around me, everywhere, every minute of my life.
