In this episode of The Spiritual Perspective, Light Watkins explores three life-changing decisions that shaped his path—and how making similar choices can transform yours.
He begins by distinguishing between what he calls the ground-level perspective (the logical, comfort-seeking mindset most of us live by) and the spiritual perspective (the higher, heart-led view that sees meaning in discomfort and purpose in uncertainty).
From there, Light unpacks the pivotal decisions that redefined his life: giving up alcohol to reclaim his authenticity and awareness, committing to follow his inner guidance no matter how illogical it seemed, and making the simple but radical choice to never skip meditation.
Each story illustrates how trusting your inner voice—especially when it doesn’t make sense—can open doors you didn’t even know existed.
If you’ve been questioning what’s next, or struggling to know which path to take, this episode offers a grounded roadmap for tuning out external noise and turning up the volume on your inner guidance.
It’s a reminder that the most aligned decisions often look illogical from the outside—but deeply right from within.
