How To Make My Spiritual Life Journey Fulfilling

By Ericka Marsh


Strength in spirit is important for self actualization. The process of building a strong spirit takes commitment and time. It commences once you declare, I want my spiritual life journey to be strong. There are a number of ways through which you can build this strength.

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 more- curiosity leads to better understanding and a firm belief. By reading books and other spiritually oriented materials, you will build a strong foundation. Look for books that teach the basics of your spirituality or community engagement. They give you different perspectives on how your faith can remain strong. There are books on contemporary issues in spirituality. They help you understand your spirituality despite the changes taking place in the world.

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.

Meditation- meditating remains a strong spiritual pillar in any faith. The quiet moment helps you to reflect and better understand what you believe. There are meditation guides in form of music or audio reflections. Use them to enhance your experience.

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.
