A strong spirit is vital for self actualization. Strong spirituality does not come unless you commit time and engage in certain target activities. The minute you declare, my spiritual life journey needs strengthening, it becomes the beginning of greater things. To achieve a fulfilling life, consider the following.
Identify your foundation- this means making a decision to follow a particular spirituality. The spirituality or principles in many cases are based on a religious belief. Further, within different religions, there are opportunities to adapt a particular lifestyle. The options include meditative, charity, evangelical, intellectual, etc. The principles of the religious or spiritual body you join will guide you through the journey.
Join a community- living in the spirit requires constant reinforcement and encouragement from a community. The community of believers shares experiences on daily life which will strengthen your spirit. This community gives you a chance to learn from your seniors as well as mentor juniors. It therefore is an incredible boost to the spirit.
Mentor- having a mentor in matters of faith provides an upper hand since most of them have gone through the experience of faith. Their experience and understanding of the journey of faith will strengthen your pursuit of a fulfilling life. They help you during major decision making intervals and will redirect you in case you get lost. Find a person who encourages you to be better and aim higher spiritually.
Read intensely- it is important to understand what you belief. This is best achieved through reading. Books on the foundations of your spirituality, religious group or community are enlightening. They enlighten you on expectations and how to remain strong in faith. There also are books or literature on emerging issues that make it easier to handle them. The internet also contains a lot of literature on spirituality.
Listen- spiritual leaders and intellectuals provide insightful lectures and audios on different issues. These resources are available on radio, TV, internet as well as on DVDs and other storage devices. Take time to listen to the lectures and take notes to be used in changing your destiny. Be keen to listen to grounded speakers to avoid confusion.
Mediating- a person who mediates understands his surrounding and belief better. Having quiet moments makes reflection deeper and easier. With the use of mediation guides like music or a directed audio, you can delve into a lot of personal issues and enhance your experience in faith.
Charity work- this is voluntary work aimed at assisting the needy in your community. Participating in such endeavors keeps you in touch with your immediate community. It also helps you appreciate the things you already have and therefore be grateful.
Pilgrimage- this is a journey to a holy site associated with your religion. It is made once in a while over a period of time. Pilgrimages help you have a first hand experience of the events that form the foundation of your spirituality. Beyond reading and hearing about certain places or people, a pilgrimage offers clarity on the important principles or pillars of your spiritual life.
