How To Make My Spiritual Life Journey Fulfilling

By Ericka Marsh


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.

Find a reliable foundation- living in spirit cannot be realized until you identify with a community of faith. Such communities are mainly religious. They ensure that your belief is shaped in a particular way. Some of the differentiating factors include meditation, intellect, charity and evangelism. A strong spirituality makes the journey of faith more enjoyable and fulfilling.

Be a member of a community- participating in communities is encouraging and reinforces your belief. The experiences shared on daily life will strengthen you in spirit, personal and social life. It also is a chance to learn from those who understand the spirituality better and also share your understanding or knowledge with those who join behind you.

Identify a mentor- mentors are people you look up to in terms of faith. They have more experience and understanding of your faith and will encourage you in the course of the journey. They help you make the right choices at different stages and will correct you in case you get lost. They direct your steps to keep you grounded 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- audio materials and live lectures or sermons by intellectuals and religious leaders are incredible resources. Some are broadcast over the internet, on TVs, radios or distributed through DVDs and other storage platforms. The insight given on such platforms is encouraging. Choose your materials well 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.

Conduct charity work- charity work within your area of residence or operation helps to strengthen your spirit. It makes it easier to understand the composition of your community and how you can make it better. It acts as practical application of what you believe. Encountering less privileged people makes you appreciate your gifts.

Go for pilgrimages- journeying to a religious holy site gives you a vivid understanding of the things you have always heard. This first hand experience is a strong foundation and helps to strengthen your spirituality. It makes real or practical the things you have always heard about or read about within your religious circles. Pilgrimages are always transformational.
