Sometimes when I find myself experiencing negative emotions, I feel hypocritical and feel down on myself since I so closely try to adhere to principals of spirituality. Then, I remember spirituality does NOT equate to being perfect or having it all figured out. This journey is constant learning and unlearning, circling back to deeper and deeper truths. You can be spiritual and experience negative emotions; it is all about how you overcome and adapt. You can understand a spiritual concept and not embody it; that does not mean there is something wrong with you, you’re just not ready to let go of that behavior yet. Being aware of the habit that needs to be modified / changed is a great thing within itself, just do not stay there!!!
