The Spiritual Perspective
Ever wonder what the spiritual perspective is on genocide? On cheating? On getting back with your ex? On toxic people?
If so, this is your channel.
You identify as spiritual — but you’ve still got questions about how to show up in life’s messiest, most nuanced situations.
And you don’t have time for fluffy, feel-good answers that don’t hold up in the real world.
This is where you’ll find a grounded spiritual take on life’s hardest questions.
I’m Light Watkins — keynote speaker, author, and longtime meditation teacher — and every week, I share short, no-BS videos that help you zoom out, tune in, and reframe what you’re going through.
If you’re tired of surface-level advice and ready to go deeper, join me every Monday and Thursday for new episodes of The Spiritual Perspective.
Your next breakthrough might be one perspective shift away.

The Spiritual Perspective on Making Resolutions
Every January, people make resolutions with the best intentions.
And every February, most of those resolutions quietly disappear.
Not because people don’t care or lack discipline—but because most resolutions are built around outcomes instead of actions. We resolve to “get in shape,” “make more money,” or “change our lives,” without thinking about what we’ll actually do on a busy Tuesday when motivation is low and life gets in the way.
In this episode of The Spiritual Perspective, Light breaks down a more practical way to think about New Year’s resolutions—one that doesn’t rely on willpower, perfect conditions, or blind optimism. You’ll learn why focusing on the process matters more than chasing outcomes, how to choose goals that are fully within your control, and what most people leave out of their resolutions that ultimately determines whether they follow through.
This conversation isn’t about forcing change or becoming a “new you.” It’s about creating small, repeatable commitments that fit into real life—and compound over time.
If you’ve ever made resolutions that felt inspiring in January but impossible to sustain, this episode offers a grounded framework for building habits that actually stick, long after the new year excitement wears off.
