‘The spiritual journey is one of constant transformation.
The whole process is very exciting, and you will have good times and bad times.
‘You are a great being who has been given a tremendous opportunity to explore beyond yourself.
Instead of living life, you’ll be afraid of it.’ Life is continuously changing, and if you’re trying to control it, you’ll never be able to fully live it. You realize and accept that life is not under your control.
‘The alternative is to decide not to fight with life.
‘The more you are willing to just let the world be something you’re aware of, the more it will let you be who you are – the awareness, the self, the Atman, the Soul.’.

‘Problems are generally not what they appear to be.
‘You will not be able to solve anything outside until you own how the situation affects you inside.’.
‘Your inner growth is completely dependent upon the realization that the only way to find peace and contentment is to stop thinking about yourself.’.
They are simply making you feel better or worse about what is going on now, what has gone on in the past, or what might go on in the future.’ They have no effect on anything or anybody, except you.
‘If you’re willing to be objective and watch all your thoughts, you’ll see that the vast majority of them have no relevance.
‘There is nothing more important to true growth than realizing that you are not the voice of the mind – you are the one who hears it.’.
Last week, I shared seven powerful lessons from the book. The book teaches that we are separate from the voice in our heads, and advises us about the importance of deciding to be happy regardless of what happens.Īfter reading the book, my life improved because I stopped attaching emotions to my thoughts and I realized that overanalyzing the future is futile since the mind knows nothing about the future. The Untethered Soul, by Michael Singer, is an amazing self-help book for anyone that wants to attain inner peace and everlasting happiness.
