Yes, I know, there are no mistakes on the spiritual journey. There can\u2019t be, if you think about it. The spiritual journey is, to a certain extent, a process of learning. And don\u2019t we almost always learn best from what we often see as our mistakes? But then, if we learn from them, if we grow from them, how could they really be mistakes?<\/p>\n

As you venture down the spiritual path, you really start seeing your life as a long curriculum in a giant classroom called Life. No mistakes. Just your individual assignments. I have had my \u201clessons\u201d to learn, my conditioning to undo.<\/p>\n

That said, here are 6 things that I would have previously called mistakes. For me, they weren\u2019t. But maybe you will see something in them that will help you as you journey down the path.<\/p>\n

1. You cannot choose love too often.<\/strong> So many times along the path, I\u2019ve been given the opportunity to choose love or fear. Many, many times I chose fear. I pushed people and things away to avoid loving them. I suffered, to be sure, and Life graciously came back and offered the lesson again and again. I\u2019m very glad it did. Choose love.<\/p>\n

2. You can\u2019t sit too much.<\/strong> I loved meditating when I first started, but I loved reading about<\/em> and talking about<\/em> spirituality more. And reading and talking about spirituality, while they can be helpful, just doesn\u2019t cut the mustard. Spirituality must be lived<\/em>, it must be experienced. Sitting with yourself, finding out what you really are is so incredibly important and transformative.<\/p>\n

3. Not enough time spent in nature.<\/strong> For centuries, spiritual masters have made references to nature, to time spent in nature, as a part of their journey. There is something about the trees, the rocks, the plants, the sky, the sun that calls to us. Being in nature is a powerful aid to our spiritual growth. Taking a walk in the pines will do more for you than a library full of books.<\/p>\n

4. Being arrogant about my beliefs.<\/strong> I was a jerk in the early days of my journey.<\/p>\n
