Understanding The Importance Of Personal Spiritual Growth

By Zoe Smith


I think most people want more out of life. It doesn't matter if you have a pretty good thing going for you already-there's always more that you can have in life. That's not a bad thing; it is simply how we were all created to be. We need to keep growing and moving forward otherwise we will be stagnant in the place we are. So how do we get more out of life? The more that we desire can be attained as we take care of our personal spiritual growth.

How is my spiritual condition any relevant to my personal development? Everything. Even the people from earlier centuries recognized their need to improve their life and they have done so by making sure that they get deeply involved in enhancing their spiritual life. Think about it, there wasn't any self-help gurus before to point people what is the right way in life? What they had were guides and teachers who taught them how to reach their fullest potential by tapping into the unlimited Source of power Himself.

So what do we do to establish a good spiritual personal development plan? Before anything else, you must realize that you are created for a purpose. There is a reason why you are alive on earth at this time. What is it? Your specific talents and characteristics is a good indication of what it is. What are you passionate about? What do you do that gives you joy? Find out your strengths, weaknesses, passion and beliefs to point you to what God wants to make of your life.

It is very important and practical to know your purpose. This will help you trim away whatever activities that may be good, but not necessarily the best in bringing out your fullest potential. As you begin to build your life towards your purpose, maintain a good attitude consistently. Mistakes and adverse circumstances inevitably come but too many people have let their misfortunes define them and keep them down. Learn from the experience and find the good in it, even in the smallest measure.

Another thing that happens when you cultivate a positive attitude is that you are attracting more good to come in your life. It's true. You will find any effective personal development plan emphasizing the need to dwell on good and expect success. This is because thoughts and emotions are vibrations and this powerful energy will seek to find things of like resonance.

The greatest spiritual teacher once said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive". It is not always believed to be true but it is. When you share of yourself, be it time, money or your talent, you will receive the same back in greater measure than what you put out. More importantly, it will bring you joy and peace as you do.

Gratitude connects you to the Source of all supply so endeavor to find things to be grateful for everyday. It is one of the most important things you can do for your personal spiritual growth. When you see life as a gift, it will be and you will begin to expect more blessings to come your way. Now you know the secret for an amazing life-it's time you live it out for yourself.
