Struggling to Balance Material Pursuits and Spiritual Growth—How Do You Find Peace?

3 hours ago 3

Hi, everyone. I’ve been feeling really stuck lately, and I’m hoping to get some insight from people who’ve been through something similar.

I feel like I’m constantly swinging between two extremes in my life. On one side, I crave a fully spiritual path—one where I’m connected, grounded, and living with purpose beyond material things. But on the other side, I find myself drawn to material pursuits—whether that’s career, money, or possessions. It’s like I can’t integrate the two, and it’s tearing me apart.

When I’m focused on spiritual growth, I feel guilty about caring for material needs. When I focus on material goals, I feel disconnected from my deeper self. I don’t know how to balance these two sides of me or if that’s even possible.
