Ensure Your Success With Your Personal Spiritual Growth

By Zoe Smith


How are you today? Is your life full of ecstasy and fun? Or is it depressing and tragic? If you are like most people, you are probably in the middle. You have a normal life and compared to many people in the rest of the world-you've got it pretty good. Now, is it a bad thing to want more? Of course not! Wanting more is not ingratitude- it is simply how we were created to be. So how do we attain more? The answer is by attending to 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 are the steps we can take to establish an effective spiritual personal development plan? Understand that you are specifically made for a purpose in the world. Your strengths, weaknesses, and specific characteristics point you to it. What are the things that resonate in your heart? What is it that makes you happiest? You need to take a mental inventory of what you know about yourself because it will show you why you are what God made you to be.

Why is it important to know your purpose? When you know why you are here for, you will take out unnecessary things from your life. It's not just the bad things that need pruning away. Sometimes you need to give up the good things in order to make room for the best things. As you go along life, always keep a positive, healthy attitude. You will make mistakes and trials will come your way, but don't let that define you. Make these experiences your teacher and move on immediately.

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.

Jesus, the greatest spiritual leader who ever lived was known to have said, "It is better to give than to receive." It's true. Not often do people truly appreciate this truth but if you consciously apply it in your life, you will. Give to people generously with whatever you do have-your time or talent or treasure and it will return to you pressed down, shaken together and running over.

Gratitude is your connecting link to the Source of all supplies. Therefore, make it a point to look for things you can be grateful for in life. It is one of the most valuable things you can undertake in your journey of personal spiritual growth. Perceive the gifts that life is rewarding you with each day, and more of these blessings will come. Enjoy!
