Your Best Life Begins With 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.

You may be asking, what has my spiritual condition got to do with my personal development? Friend, it has everything to do with your best life. Did you know that even people from ancient worlds understand the importance of personal development and indeed, have turned their dreams into reality by tapping into their deepest spiritual self? Think about it, before the era of self-help what did people use to inspire and empower them to accomplish great things- a highly evolved spiritual state.

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.

Also, as you cultivate a positive outlook in life, you are subconsciously attracting more good things into your sphere of existence. Any reliable personal development plan will tell you that expecting good will result in the good you desire manifesting in your life. Why is that? Your thoughts and emotions are powerful vibrations that seek to bring you things that you are in harmony with.

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 is the great connector that joins you to your God and the Source of all things. Strengthen that connection by purposefully finding things that you can be grateful for everyday. This is a valuable nugget that is integral in your personal spiritual growth. When you appreciate the gifts that life has for you, more gifts will come your way. Don't wait another minute- begin your amazing life today!
