Stop Being So Serious
Spirituality is about not taking myself so seriously. The more I grow spiritually, the more I see the joy and humor in many moments of life.

Spirituality Today
Spirituality Today is a community repository of spiritual teachings, experiences, and struggles. Often our spiritual ups and downs are hidden from one another, keeping us from learning through shared experiences. Here I share the good and bad of my journey as well as lessons I'm learning as my spiritual practice grows.

About Me
- Name: David Treanor
- Location: Maryland, United States
B.A., M.Sc.
Primarily a practitioner of non-religious spirituality infused with elements of psychology and established religions. All religions and spiritual practices are simply different paths to the same destination.
I desire to live richly, reach my full potential (materially as well as spiritually) and not get in my own way.

When I take myself too seriously, I know that my ego has been engaged. At that point, I stop being genuine and become a characature of myself. What could be more humorous than that?
If I can see the humor in a situation, I know that I have let go of my attachment to it. In that moment, people, places and things have no power over me, and I am free.
It's wonderful when I can be a keen observer of the human comedy, mine and others.
