2 - Mapping Your Spiritual Direction

4:26 PM | Posted by Gita Saraydarian

If you want to have meaning in your life, to the end of your days, the surest path is to invest some time every day immersing yourself in one of these seven universal expressions!

When we do not feel love, we are full of hatred for the very things that we want to love. Hatred, anger, regret, sharply critical words are all masking the deep lack of love that usually begins with how we feel about ourselves.
