EXPRESSIONS OF SPIRITUALITY


Many people have different definitions of spirituality. It could mean a lot of things to them but there's one underlying thread among the following:

1. Believing in a benevolent purpose that's far greater than yourself.

2. Discovering your own unique links to the heavenly force.

3. Feeding your soul with the shimmering radiance of universal love.

4. Establishing a calm co-existence with the child that lives inside.

5. Shifting from narrow definitions toward a broader view of all that is.

6. Raising consciousness actively, consistently and persistently.

7. Playing joyfully within life's sparkling, ever-changing facets.

8. Reflecting often about the true meaning of existence.

9. Marveling at the splendor and elegance around and above.

10. Seeking wisdom from a source of wisdom greater than anybody else.

11. Praying for the kind of guidance that you know is always there.

12. Existing more completely in the moment at hand.

13. Listening to the quiet messages from within.

14. Co-creating your life with a higher power.

15. Following your own inner light.

16. Holding firmly to a belief in a God that cares.


If we sum these all up, they all boil down to this: we become more spiritual when we look within our souls to understand our lives and our world better and depend on God to enlighten our lives even more. In the words of one famous churchman, "This is what makes life worth living."
