Spiritual Growth To Help You Move Forward In Life

By Andrew Murphy


In this day and age, one finds it difficult to grow spiritually with so much stress involved in the work place as well as with personal relationships. However, you have to bear in mind that when you persevere with spiritual growth, you will also find that there are certain things in life that begin to change, and this can be so rewarding.

Everyone needs someone to believe in. You may be putting your spouse first. You may rely on your parents or think the world of your children. However, these are people, and relationships don't last forever. Unfortunately, there is divorce, death and destruction that crosses paths. Where spirituality is concerned, you can be certain that you are not going to be abandoned.

You will begin to feel a great sense of freedom as you start this journey. However, you have to realize that it does take time. In fact, there is something new that you learn about yourself all the time. This is something that you are always learning about and it will never end. You begin to feel that you are less alone and there is a definite presence with you on a daily basis.

It obviously takes a lot of work as you start to grow. Sometimes you may feel discouraged because you feel as though you are not getting anywhere. However, there are a lot of resources available. These are available online as well as offline. They come in the form of books as well as blogs and online magazines which can be very motivating.

When things become stressful, it is important to focus on this. It can build a lot of inner strength. You will learn to combat fear. You will feel as if you are less isolated in the world. When you don't have this sense of spirituality in your life, you tend to feel as if you are alone in the world. It can be crippling for someone who is going though bad depression or anxiety.

By meditating like this, you will find that you will eliminate a lot of the anxious thoughts that you are carrying around with you. Many psychologists will encourage this, but not in a spiritual way. This is just part of the spiritual journey that needs to be part of your life. To encourage and motivate yourself, it may be necessary to have a journal where you jot down notes.

People who are going through a bout of depression often feel comforted when they are more spiritual. It is something that you are comforted by. You have something in life that you know that you can turn to. Once you have meditated or spent quiet time by yourself, you feel a great sense of peace and tranquillity come over your emotions.

There is a lot of encouraging material around, which comes in the form of books, magazines and blogs. Subscribe to some of these blogs. Go to lectures and get devotionals. You can even join up with a partner or a group. This is a good way of staying motivated.
