Many of us consider spirituality to be an afterthought. Perhaps it's something interesting to ponder and discuss with friends over cocktails. Perhaps it's something to take seriously when we have retired and have a lot of free time on our hands. Point being: It tends to not be a priority in our lives. The irony is that, in my opinion, when people pursue a spiritual path, it makes the rest of their lives better: better relationships, better physical and emotional health, greater success, greater happiness and greater inner peace. What do I mean by a spiritual path? Whatever enables us to make forgiveness, acceptance, compassion, generosity and love a priority in our lives.
