How To Make My Spiritual Life Journey Fulfilling

By Ericka Marsh


A strong spiritual life is very fulfilling. It takes time and effort to realize this strength. The first step is a declaration that, I want to take charge of my spiritual life journey. Attaining this strength will require you to undertake several things.

Identify a strong foundation- spirituality depends on your choice of a foundation. In most cases, the foundation is a religious community or faith. There also are different spirituality options in each religion that help you become a better believer. They help to shape your life in spirit. Spirituality groups emphasize on evangelism, charity, intellect and mediation, among other aspects. By following a particular order, you will strengthen your understanding and better enjoy 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 a lot- reading strengthens your understanding of the things you believe in. There are books written by the founders of your community or religious group. They provide a basic understanding of the expectations of anyone adhering to that religion. Further, there are recent books that help you tackle emerging issues. Read as many of these books as possible. The internet also contains a lot of literature. Be diligent to read as much as possible.

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.

Attend pilgrimages- living in spirit introduces you to a lot of people and places. Making a journey to a holy site or attending an event by a spiritual leader enhances your spirit. It provides a practical view of the spiritual reality. It changes what you have always read and heard into real things. A pilgrimage will transform your belief.
