Why do you get out of bed, brush your teeth, have a shower and go to work most mornings?
Think about that question for a minute or two.
Most of the time we do things automatically without really thinking about it. Most of us know we have to work to put food on the table so we duly get up, brush our teeth, have a shower and trundle off to work. Are we really happy about it? I am happy working with the people I work with, I am happy working with my clients what I am not happy about is working for someone else and trading my time for £10 an hour, day in day out. I would rather be working for myself and setting my own hours, however that time has not come yet.
To get over this I try and look at what I have and be grateful, sometimes it’s difficult, most of the time it’s easy. When I really make the effort I can change from thinking I am not making a difference in the world to thinking I am making a difference one person at a time and that’s all I can do.
Why do I want to change the world? I don’t, I want to change the people who are looking to change their world. This is the place I feel most comfortable, most at ease with myself. This blog makes a huge difference in my life and I honestly feel if I can touch one persons heart and make them think about their life, I have made a difference.
Thinking spiritually
Over the years I have gone from being a physical being to being a spiritual being. Regular readers know I am not religious in the least, but I am deeply spiritual. I believe in being human and I believe humans strive to become spiritual beings and not purely physical beings. Some of us are not ready to become spiritual and that’s fine, we will know when it’s time to strive to reach all we can be. I wrote an article about Self Actualization and the quickest way to reach this is by asking questions about the world.
The world is changing, there is disharmony, there seems to be huge unrest in the world. I believe this is not by chance, the worm is turning and I believe the world is in a state of spiritual dissonance just now. More and more people are looking inside to find their innate calmness and reading blogs and websites like this to join a community of like minded people, it’s not religious, it’s not cultish it’s humans looking inside knowing a change has to come and knowing it has to come from within: If you change yourself you will change your world, if you change your world you can change someone’s else’s world and so on and one by one the world can change.
Changing from physical to spiritual
There is no real secret to changing and I nor anyone else can tell you how to do it. You will know when the time has come to change and you will simply think on a different level. Day by day you think more spiritually and day by day your life changes. By asking questions you will change, by changing your thinking you will change by helping others you will change.
When the time is right
Is the time to change now?

Hi Steven, it’s high time!
In Spirit,
Nneka
Hi Steven, so glad to be back at your blog. I too feel the dissonance on a spiritual level and on other levels too. There is so much going on in the world and the forces lacking a higher purpose are powerful. Each of us must find our own way on the path of self-realization. Change is possible form the bottom up. That is us doing and being us as fully as possible.
On a personal note: I am stopping my part-time job that I have done for 2 years and taking a leap of faith. I have things to do and I am trusting in the universe to provide while I do all that I am guided to do. Wish me luck,
Joseph
As you said its the time to change from physical to spiritual
Hi Nneka, thanks for dropping by and yes it is high time.
Hi Joseph, nice to see you back. I wish you all the luck in the world and send my thoughts, I am so happy when people just do it.
Hi Steve,
It’s always an interesting read when I come back to your blog.
The content of the posts are actually chipping away at my veneer and it’s geting close to the time for me take a turn off the road that I am on.
Not just yet….But..The time is getting closer.
Thanks for giving me tangents to slide along while I’m formulating my latter stages of life.
Cheers pal.
After Priscilla Palmer’s self development list my friend Jenny and I have decided to try to help build the self development community as well with a little contest. I would like to invite you to find out more details at Win a $25 Gift Certificate.
Hi Ken
what a great compliment, I hope you get to the last chipping soon.
nice post..really refreshing too..[:p]
I can’t really relate much because everything I do is intentionally (other than eating).
I work from home, though. I am my own boss, so I have to try extra hard to get everything done. I hope this isn’t the life you’re striving for.
Steve,
Thank you for including my article in what you’ve shared here. This is such an inspiring article. I’ve been where you’re at in feeling that desire, yet also knowing that the time is not yet right. You’re a great model in showing us that we can make a difference without being exactly where we dream to be.
You’ve got a great blog here. I look forward to watching how your journey unfolds.
Blessings and best wishes,
Susan
I used to be able to feel the spiritual dissonance, then I lost the plot, and now I can’t really feel it anymore. You’re lucky.
hi steven, havent visited ur blog for quite some time…busy in army as usual, hope alls well!
Cheers
A spiritual journey brings true inner peace. Without it, life is chaotic and without much meaning. Thanks for sharing, Steve.
Hi Steven! I used to think and fear that the world was going to hell in a hand basket, totally out of control. But what if, as suggested, there is a reason that this is happening – and happening now. Of course, the other part of me knows that almost every generation has thought along the lines of “this must be the time” (for what we don’t ever really seem to know), but… Great stuff, thanks!
Yes — it took me awhile but I finally got it — “I am a spiritual being having a human experience”
And it has been a joy-filled human experience!
Thanks for a great post…….
Ellie
Hi Ellie, Thanks you for your kind comments
Theresa, Thanks for the comments, what if this is the time, what then do we do with that knowledge and then how do we change our lives?
Hi Robyn, nice to see you here again. I think inner peace is a pre-requisite to outer peace and hopefully with blogs like yours people find their inner peace quicker.
Glenn, great to have you back, I hope the army is treating you well?
Hi Fool, how did you lose the plot?
Hi Susan, thank you for your kind words I am glad you are in a place I aspire to be in.
Hi Amy, I am more looking for choices rather than pin myself down at home.
I can’t really recall the hows or whys of it, but I think it was OK for me to lose the plot. It was kind of a boring and repetitive plot anyway, and the characters were hardly believable.
