Are You on the Right Path?

Abraham Lincoln, a man who wrestled with profound questions of purpose and morality, once offered a deceptively simple philosophy. “When I do good, I feel good.” He said. “When I do bad, I feel bad. That's my religion."

Lincoln's words tap into a universal truth. Your inner compass, the whispers of your heart, guide you not just towards moral choices, but also towards spiritual growth. But in the whirlwind of daily life, how do you track this progress, how do you know if you are on the right path?

The answer lies in the quiet afterthought, the feeling that lingers after listening to your intuition and taking action. Did that act of kindness leave your heart brimming with warmth? Did following that creative endeavor spark a flicker of joy? These are the signs, the gentle pats on the back from your spirit.

When your actions align with your inner voice, a sense of expansiveness, of peace, or simply a quiet contentment washes over you. Ignore that voice, and it can leave a dull ache, a nagging feeling of misalignment.

Tracking your spiritual growth isn't about grand achievements or dramatic shifts. It's about the collection of these tiny, positive actions. It's the quiet satisfaction of a day spent helping others, the thrill of tackling a creative project, or the simple joy of standing by your values.

So, the next time you're faced with a choice, pause and listen. Follow the whispers of your heart, take action, and then notice the aftertaste. That feeling of goodness, of being on the right path – that's your spirit cheering you on, a beautiful signpost on your unique journey of spiritual growth.
