The Importance of Resetting Spiritual Life

Resetting one's spiritual life involves recognizing the need for change through genuine desire rather than guilt. Many individuals have been conditioned to feel they should engage in religious practices due to societal or personal expectations, leading to fleeting motivation. True spirituality requires identifying a deep, inherent need for connection with God, which manifests frequently, rather than as an annual event. Embracing this perspective allows for a more meaningful, sustained relationship with spirituality that is centered on love as the primary motivator.
