ABOUT SPIRITUALITY
Spirituality is often misunderstood by many people. Too often it is associated with shallow beliefs and superstition. While spirit is a part of every living thing, there is a difference between spirituality and religion.
At its core, spirituality is the process of waking up to the truth that we are spiritual beings having a human experience and that God (or whatever you call the source of all creation) is always with us and within us.
A little over one year ago I started this podcast with a friend of mine and we've been having a blast. As we've shared our inspiring stories, I can't tell you how many times I have been approached by people who ask me "What's your religion?" or "How can you be so spiritual AND successful in business?" For those of you who may have asked those questions or for those of you who would like to learn more about what spirituality means to me personally, please read on.
To me, spirituality is the understanding that there is life before and after this human experience, that all of creation is connected and we are all made up of the same essence/energy. It's not just a belief, it's something I KNOW to be true. When we live from that place--instead of fear--I believe we become more creative, intuitive and open to new ways of approaching our day-to-day challenges. I believe that when we focus on the good in people (and everything), it brings more goodness into our lives. I believe that when we give, we receive.
Spirituality is not a belief system. It's an experience and not just a thought--I believe that it's our most powerful creator because it prompts us to use all of the other tools in our toolbox (science, medicine, technology, education and business systems) to bring more good into the world while reducing or eliminating suffering.
In other words, when we are spiritually awake--we do good things for others and ourselves that create good circumstances in our lives. The opposite is also true: When we are spiritually asleep it works the same way but with negative consequences.
For me, spirituality is the core foundation of who I am. It is my source of love, inspiration, strength and motivation. It's what drives me to create art, music and videos that bring more goodness into the world. I've also found that it brings me great peace and courage to face any challenge because I know (or at least I hope) that everything happens for a reason--there are no accidents in life and we are always connected to something bigger through love.
While spirituality can be an inspiring perspective for those who don't believe in God or a higher power, it's not necessary to have a belief system in order to be spiritual.
I believe that spirituality is an innate part of our human experience and something we are born with. I also believe that it is our birthright as spiritual beings.
Like everything else in life, spirituality has its place and it's not right for everyone. It's not meant to be a religion, but rather something you can use to guide you through your day-to-day experiences while allowing other people to make their own choices and live their own lives without judgement or fear.
As a spiritual person, I want everyone to feel safe, loved, cared for and accepted. Spirituality doesn't have to be about judgement or beliefs that try to control others with dogma. Spirituality can be a positive force that brings peace, understanding and compassion to our interactions with each other.
This is my vision for the future—I believe that one day a majority of people will wake up and focus their energy on creating the world they want to live in instead of the world they fear. I believe that one day we will transition from an Industrial Age business mind-set to a more Human Age way of doing things. I believe that one day we'll be able to solve many (if not all) of the problems in our society without violence, fear or judgement by living from our spiritual core as opposed to only focusing on all of the negative things around us and trying to survive them instead.
Conclusion
This is my wish for the future—I hope you will join me in creating this new way of doing things. I believe that it's up to us to create the future we want and I believe that if we are spiritually awake, focused on our hearts and working together, there is no challenge too large for the human race to overcome.
