What does it mean to be spiritual?

Well it begins with seeing yourself as a “total package.”

This includes being able to see yourself through the eyes of others, while at the same time knowing your true self intimately.

It also includes a feeling of oneness with nature and the entire universe.

And, too, it includes being aware that while you can learn from the past and plan for the future, your real power is in the present moment.

Also, you must realize your eternal connectedness with all other humans, and be willing to help others without an expectation of anything in return.

If you have the desire to become a fully aware, complete, and peaceful person, you have spiritual motivation and will be able to make the shift.

There are 10 simple ways that you can begin to create a positive self dimension in which your spirituality can flourish.

These 10 tips come from The Psychology of Winning, a book written by Denis Waitley as a guide to happy and successful living.

Getting in touch with you spiritual side is a major component of this.

#1- ask yourself the questions, how do i fit into my family, my company, my profession, my community, my nation, my world?

#2- treat people more like brothers and sisters. Treat animals more like people. Treat nature were carefully and tenderly-she is precariously balancing our future survival.

#3- pay value to your spouse or a loved one today with a touch and an “I love you.” Flowers, poems, cards are ever green!

#4- tonight kiss a child good night with an added, “you are special and I love you for who you are.” And tomorrow listen to and play with that child as if you were a playmate again.

#5- tell a parent or relative in person or by phone how much he or she means to you today.

#6- spend time listening to and giving encouragement to an elder each week.

#7- make a contribution to something or someone for which there is no direct payout or obligation.

#8- this is Saturday do something you have wanted to do for years. And repeat this process once each month.

#9- experiment with five are six hours sleep per night while being kind to your body with good nutrition and exercise. Over a lifetime, the additional productive hours available amount to 12 more years of life.

#10- learn one or two additional languages and study the customs and mores of countries you plan to visit. When you travel, speak and the native tongue as much as possible. The added dimension will benefit you and those you meet.
