Many hold stereotypes of what spiritually-oriented people are like. Some spiritual gurus may perpetuate these myths. In any case, here’s what I’ve found to be incorrect assumptions based on my experiences and those of my spiritually-driven friends. #1 Myth: When you’re spiritually evolved, you’re always serene and joyful.

Many of us want to live a tranquil existence. To find it in this chaotic world, though, we must actively seek it out. So how do we reach a deep serenity? Banish judgment and criticism.
