How to make life better

All of us are more conscious in some areas of life, and less conscious in other areas of life. The areas of our life that work best are the the ones in which we operate more consciously. Thus, If you are conscious of your health, your health is likely to be good. Similarly, if you are conscious of the money you earn/save/spend/invest, you financial house is likely to be in order, and so on for every area of life.

You cannot make an improvement in the areas of life that you are unconscious about. In being unconscious, you are no better than the person lying down in the operation table under the influence of anesthesia.

This “unconsciousness”, is what is termed as “ignorance” in many spiritual traditions. It is the blind spots that we have with respect to how we are thinking, feeling and acting in self-sabotaging ways. The key to improving our life thus starts with bringing more consciousness to different areas of life, and the goal of all spiritual paths is just that - becoming more conscious of our thoughts, emotions and actions as each day goes by.
