How to Improve Your Quality of Life
#8
Social Scientists have observed that whenever a society begins to lose its spiritual beliefs, it foreshadows a breakdown within the social group, indicating spiritual awareness and sensitivity is the “glue” that holds society together. It can help encourage growth in adversity, challenges, and problems which will help you live more resiliently, no matter what your situation.
Spirituality can be the very thing that gives your life meaning and balance in an ever-changing world. It can provide perspective and worth to your values—those of your predecessors—and also generations to come. Everyone leaves some kind of legacy on Planet Earth—what will yours be? Consider your world view of spirituality, and honestly answer the following questions.
1. Currently how important is spirituality in your life and the lives of your loved ones?
2. Many churches around the world are experiencing a boom in attendance. What do you feel regular church attendance or spiritual study could do to improve your quality of life?
3. Have you ever experienced what you felt was divine-like help or guidance during a difficult time in your life? If so, describe your experience and how you felt about it.
“No matter what the world thinks about religious experience, the one who has it possesses a great treasure, a thing that has become for him a source of life, meaning, and beauty, and that has given a new splendor to the world and mankind.”
~ Carl G. Jung
Typically people describe spiritual experiences as a journey or path. For a path to help improve your quality of life, it must be constructive, creative, proactive, and enhance your spiritual well-being. There are many paths to enlightenment. Its worthwhile to nurture a well-rounded existence and draw on all aspects of human nature to fulfill your needs.
