Strength in spirit is important for self actualization. The process of building a strong spirit takes commitment and time. It commences once you declare, I want my spiritual life journey to be strong. There are a number of ways through which you can build this strength.
Identify a strong foundation- spirituality depends on your choice of a foundation. In most cases, the foundation is a religious community or faith. There also are different spirituality options in each religion that help you become a better believer. They help to shape your life in spirit. Spirituality groups emphasize on evangelism, charity, intellect and mediation, among other aspects. By following a particular order, you will strengthen your understanding and better enjoy the journey.
Be in communion- communal activities provide social insight, are encouraging and will strengthen your believe. The community engages in activities and shares their daily experiences at social and personal level. This will increase your knowledge and understanding of the application of such principles in daily living. You learn from experienced members of such a community and teach those who come after you.
Find a mentor- mentors have experienced the journey and have a better understanding of the challenges. As such, they will encourage you whenever you get faint. There are many distractions along the way. You are likely to get lost somewhere, make wrong decisions or need to move faster. A mentor will direct your steps and ensure that you do not loose the path.
Read a lot- reading strengthens your understanding of the things you believe in. There are books written by the founders of your community or religious group. They provide a basic understanding of the expectations of anyone adhering to that religion. Further, there are recent books that help you tackle emerging issues. Read as many of these books as possible. The internet also contains a lot of literature. Be diligent to read as much as possible.
Listen- spiritual leaders and intellectuals provide insightful lectures and audios on different issues.
