You can only live life with the tools you develop. You do the best you can with them that is until they stop working. Most of the tools developed are designed to follow the way of the world because that’s where they are derived from. You cannot develop spiritual tools unless your life is anchored on living by spiritual principles. When one seeks to follow the way of the spirit it means a complete reversal of the way of the world which is most people’s direction.
When the old tools stop working, at first it’s uncomfortable because it’s unfamiliar territory, but slowly the new tools will bring on a reversal of principles which leads to peace and happiness. You think your worldly aims and ambitions that are usually strived for are developed to bring peace, but when they don't produce the results looked for you’ll seek different tools for the desired result. The world's accomplishments will never bring heart rest and happiness; this isn’t right or wrong it's just the way it is.
The tools developed are used until they don't work. Changing something won't be done if it isn't known something needs changing. Although the mind will tell one that having to develop a new set of tools is the worse possible thing that could have happened, hopefully the new tools will develop a new set of eyes that allow you to see the weary, disillusioned, and disappointed results the old tools produced. Stop using the tools that are no longer producing desired results and put trust in not the ways of the world, but in the way of the spirit and you should use these new tools as if your life depends on it because it does…
