Spiritual setbacks

Spiritual setbacks.

They’re gonna happen.

You’ll be consistently challenged your entire life by small, medium and large challenges. Spiritual challenges you see coming, and spiritual challenges you never see coming.

#truth

Doubts and fears — versus — hopes and dreams.

Profuse, perverse, and pervasive societal norms that promote a low-standard of spiritual vibrancy expectations.

Few if any personal, lifetime role models.

A constant conflict with reality.

Wisdom comes from experience. Experience comes from making mistakes.

You can intentionally take small, calculated risks with your spirit. If your risk ‘fails’, it’s still a success because you learned something and any ‘damage’ was small , unnoticeable, and easily corrected.

Spiritual setbacks can diminish as you age if you embrace and cultivate deep peace and contentment. They can also multiply if you embrace an anxious, uncertain, fearful mindset.

The odds in either direction, however, seem to be influenced by architecting your personal vibrancy, with great intention.

Recovery from risks successful failures, by design, so to speak.

Remember, waiting and doing nothing are the twin siblings of self destruction.

If anything can go wrong, it will.

Or, using your peaceful and contented mindset, “If anything can go right, it will.”

Church is every step.

Peace is every step.

Spiritual reality

Reality defined.

From Google: “Reality encompasses the totality of all facts, events, and existence, regardless of whether they are known or observed. Key synonyms include actuality, truth, existence, substance, fact, and realness.”

Spiritual reality…

To me then, spiritual reality is the totality of all my gratitude, beliefs, prayers, and actions.

Hoping to consistently and overwhelmingly achieve, on a lifetime average, an exceptionally vibrant sense of peace and contentment.

Note: My goal in a perfect world, if and when our son goes looking for the face of Jesus in the real world, he won’t have to look farther than across the dinner table.

Reminder: If your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough.

Spiritual ambition

Spiritual ambition.

Earth is a fleck of dust (actually more like an atom) in the cosmos.

We are so tiny, so microscopic, so insignificant in the grand design of what physically exists.

Yet we dream…

We dream of human significance, of eternal life.

If your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough.

Be spiritually ambitious.

Note: If eternal life is not in your belief system, a noble goal is simply peace and contentment. Peace with who you are. Content with what you have.

Spiritual process

Spiritual process.

Spiritual process to me is a complimentary spiritual framework you create to allow your spiritual structure, namely feeling, to thrive.

Spiritual process is built on:

Goals

  • Spiritual vibrancy
  • Peace
  • Contentment

Values

  • Faith, hope, love
  • Humility
  • Gratitude
  • Forgiveness
  • Surrender

Beliefs

  • Be the face of Jesus
  • Golden rule
