Understanding the Importance of Personal Spiritual Growth

By Zoe Smith


I don't know about you but I think that no matter how relatively good your life may seem at the moment-you always want a little bit more. Now as long as you don't take it to the extreme, this is not a bad thing. I mean, be content but never satisfied-this is what will keep you reaching beyond your grasp and reaching higher heights. This sounds good but how do we do this? All your heart's desire begins with 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.

What are some things we can do for our spiritual personal development plan? The first thing you need to understand is that you are made deliberately and with a purpose. It doesn't matter what you think, you are not an accident. You have specific gifts and characteristics that will point you to your purpose. What inspires you and ignites your passion? What brings you happiness? Know yourself and you will begin to see the direction of your life.

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, as you cultivate a positive outlook in life, you are subconsciously attracting more good things into your sphere of existence. Any reliable personal development plan will tell you that expecting good will result in the good you desire manifesting in your life. Why is that? Your thoughts and emotions are powerful vibrations that seek to bring you things that you are in harmony with.

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!
