Thanks Tim. Although that is true, it usually starts with our upbringing and environment. I'm not sure how much importance we put on that.
Inner peace partly comes from our ability to shut out what's going on in the world. But as you say we must take a step back and check in with ourselves every now and again.
Spirituality can become a lifestyle choice that we must continue to hone in on so it becomes a way of life.
Anyone who wishes to 'wake-up' will need to understand that the process starts with developing a positive mindset.
Even then I don't think that a spiritual awakening is all light and happiness, as it will probably involve accepting, and removing trapped negative emotions from the past.

Waking up through spirituality isn't an easy path. It starts with both an open mind and a positive mindset.

My life is starving for that.
