The Spiritual Perspective
Have you ever faced a challenging situation—in your relationships, finances, personal growth, or family life—where the next step seemed impossible to figure out?
As Einstein wisely noted, we can't solve problems from the same level of consciousness that created them. To find meaningful solutions, we must expand our awareness. This is where The Spiritual Perspective comes in.
From Light Watkins—meditation teacher, bestselling author, and spiritual mentor—comes a fresh approach to life's everyday challenges. Each Monday, Light offers a broader understanding of common dilemmas that often leave us feeling stuck.
We often make choices based on society's definition of success while ignoring our heart's deeper guidance. The Spiritual Perspective helps you see your challenges from a higher vantage point, empowering you to make choices that are truly aligned with your spiritual nature.
This weekly series offers fresh insights on topical issues, practical ways to tune into your intuition, and guidance for making spiritually-aligned choices.
Join Light every Monday for a new way of looking at old problems—one that will inspire you to trust and follow your inner guidance.
The Spiritual Perspective
Is purpose real? Or just a story? Get The Spiritual Perspective
Some people are convinced they have a deeper calling. Others believe purpose is just a Western concept—something we tell ourselves to make life feel more meaningful.
Here’s the truth: No hard scientific proof exists that everyone has a purpose.
And yet—there are countless examples of people who’ve gone through unimaginable hardship, only to look back and say, That experience gave my life meaning.
So, what’s really going on here?
Most people get stuck on the idea that purpose is something they need to find. They think it’s about landing the right job, making millions, or leaving a legacy.
But that’s not how it works.
They also assume that only the privileged have access to purpose.
Or that if they don’t have some grand mission, they must be missing out.
But what if purpose isn’t about what you do—but how you show up?
That’s what we’re exploring in this week’s episode of The Spiritual Perspective.
