Understanding The Importance Of 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 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.

Also, a positive attitude is a powerful tool in attracting the good you desire. Any practitioner of an excellent personal development plan can attest to this. The thoughts you dwell on and the emotions you choose to feel are vibrations. These vibrations attach themselves to things that they are in harmony with. Think wealth and opportunities for wealth will come.

A great spiritual teacher once said, "It is better to give than to receive"-it is a truth not often practiced. Make a conscious effort to be generous with whatever is given to you-time, treasure or talent. You will find that not only will it be given back to you "pressed down, shaken together and running over", it will also give you deepest joy.

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!
