Day One

Spirituality is like a bird: if you hold it too closely, it chokes, and if you hold it too loosely, it flies away - Deepak Chopra

When it comes to being spiritual, it's essential to strike a balance. If you hold onto it too tightly, it can suffocate you, making it difficult to breathe and live freely. For example, you can become obsessed with religious and superstitious practices 24x7 and look at everything through their prism then you can become a nuisance to others. This is because spirituality is meant to be a guiding force, not a restrictive one. By holding onto it too closely, you and others may end up feeling trapped and suffocated by the very thing that was meant to bring you peace and fulfillment.

On the other hand, if you hold onto spirituality too loosely, that is not caring about it, it can easily slip away from you.
