What are your spiritual goals?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 31, 2009:
I used to think that I would like to become enlightened (and who wouldn't?) but that isn't my primary goal anymore. Fact is, I'm just too lazy to work at it. I would have to be one of those people who just wake up enlightened and somehow I doubt that's going to happen! So, for now, it's just to always be kind, not to forgive but to remember that there really isn't anything to forgive. I also try to remember that everything I have is enough, maybe even more than enough. And to enjoy every moment possible, to grab it, see it, cherish it. To cry harder, laugh louder, love deeper.

I think relishing every minute is the best path to Enlightenment, even for those like you and me who are just waiting for it to suddenly happen. After all, if one is “enlightened,” it implies that she has simply lightened up, achieved lightness of being, has allowed her little light to just shine, right?
Great observation, Ayla. Love to you and yours this fine Saturday!
Perhaps becoming enlightened isn’t your primary goal anymore because you already are. What you describe sounds very enlightened to me, this especially: to remember that there really isn’t anything to forgive. That is huge!
I love Kat’s definition of enlightenment…
Love,
Ruth
Thank you, Kat! I like your definition too, it really takes the pressure off! ;0)
Ruth, I’m so excited that you understood that part about forgiving. I get some pretty blank looks when I go there with most people! I love you Gals!
