How Can I Understand My Spiritual Life Journey

By Kristen Baird


Taking charge of your spiritual life is as hard as exercising, loosing weight, quitting smoking and such lifestyle changes. The first steps are difficult to make and very demanding. This should not discourage you. There is a definite place to start that will guarantee good result. You must say, I will take charge of my spiritual life journey.

As a human being, every day is a struggle to become a deeper and more meaningful person. The challenge lies in the fact that unlike physical change, inner change does not have tangible beacons. By going to the gym, taking health pills and restraining from visiting certain places, you can achieve physical change. The spirit is different because it is untouchable.

The choice to alter the direction of your life will bring you to your desired destiny. This change can only be manifested in behavior since it is a matter of the spirit. When the desire to change exists and a decision has been made, then your inner person begins to yearn for an authentic, pure and deeper meaning. This is the way to take charge of your journey.

The inner voice in every individual directs thoughts and actions. It offers directions on what to do and what to avoid. Specialists and those who have lived fulfilled lives agree that listening to the inner voice is the way to take control. When your thoughts are in harmony with your words and actions, you will keep away from internal conflict which hands control back to you.

Being in touch with your inner dimension will make you long for a better self. Experts have suggested that you should spend time in discernment in order to understand the inner calling. Only by so doing are you able to lock out distracting voices and identify the right path for you.

Discernment offers a chance to answer several fundamental questions. Among them is, What if I am Kinder? More compassionate? More patient? Less selfish? More loving? More humble? More generous? Etc. When you have found an answer to these questions, then, your heart is ready for change.

Is it possible to change on your own? Specialists have been struggling with this dilemma for years. After numerous studies, they have identified the need for an external force. To renovate a house, new features must be added. The same applies to the heart. This brings to fore the religious aspect. Strong religious commitment offers a reliable pillar to govern your life.

The spirituality of each human being directs his attitudes, morality and values, among other attributes. The spirit goes astray when this spirituality is ignored. The process of restoring this spirituality must be driven by a strong desire and Christian values. As the bible requires that everyone must endeavor to be like Christ, a decision must be made to do so.

The irony of change is that you cannot complete it on your own and neither can it happen without your active participation. The first step is to desire and make a decision to change. When this happens, you gain clarity of purpose and your destiny can be achieved. Restoration begins to happen.
