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
When "Everything Happens for a Reason" Hurts. Get the Spiritual Perspective
We’ve all been there.
You’re going through something hard.
And someone hits you with:
“Everything happens for a reason.”
Or…
“Stay positive vibe.”
Or…
“You just need to let it go.”
And in that moment, instead of feeling seen, you feel… dismissed.
Like your pain didn’t get the memo that we’re all supposed to be enlightened now.
In this week’s Spiritual Perspective, we’re talking about bypassing—specifically, how to recognize it without becoming the bypasser yourself.
Because here’s the thing:
Sometimes, people really are avoiding responsibility or emotions by sounding “spiritual.”
But other times, we’re just projecting our discomfort with how they’re processing something.
It’s a tricky balance.
So how do you know the difference?
And what do you do when someone else’s attempt at perspective just makes you want to scream?
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why some “wise” advice can actually keep people stuck
- The hidden reason we’re so quick to call others out
- What to do instead when bypassing might be happening
This one’s not about shaming anybody.
It’s about getting more clear and more free—in your own lane.
