Spirit

How important is spirituality in your life?

Very much so, though that has not always been the case. But the fact of the matter is, everyone needs to believe in something, on a far deeper, more instinctual level.

Believing in something – your deity of choice, nature, the universe, or even the unknown – is somehow essential for humans.

i have known people who truly don’t believe in anything, and i let them convince me that the things I believed in were silly or nonsensical. In some cases, they used my own logic against me. But, something still felt off after i stepped away and set those beliefs to the side.

i have also since realized that existence without that belief is lonely, empty, and meaningless. It leaves this gaping hole in your being, that you desperately (and unsuccessfully) try to fill.

i don’t care who you are or what your thoughts about the world are – everyone needs to believe in something outside of, and more powerful than, themselves. and i’m not at all saying that you have to subscribe to some existing school of thought or religion or anything for that belief to be valid and effective. What you believe in doesn’t matter – just that you do.
