By Ericka Marsh


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.

Mentor- having a mentor in matters of faith provides an upper hand since most of them have gone through the experience of faith. Their experience and understanding of the journey of faith will strengthen your pursuit of a fulfilling life. They help you during major decision making intervals and will redirect you in case you get lost. Find a person who encourages you to be better and aim higher spiritually.

Read intensely- it is important to understand what you belief. This is best achieved through reading. Books on the foundations of your spirituality, religious group or community are enlightening. They enlighten you on expectations and how to remain strong in faith. There also are books or literature on emerging issues that make it easier to handle them. The internet also contains a lot of literature on spirituality.

Listen- spiritual leaders and intellectuals provide insightful lectures and audios on different issues. These resources are available on radio, TV, internet as well as on DVDs and other storage devices. Take time to listen to the lectures and take notes to be used in changing your destiny. Be keen to listen to grounded speakers to avoid confusion.

Meditation- meditating remains a strong spiritual pillar in any faith. The quiet moment helps you to reflect and better understand what you believe. There are meditation guides in form of music or audio reflections. Use them to enhance your experience.

Engage in charity- assisting the needy in your neighborhood remains one of the strongest acts that will strengthen your spirit. It keeps you informed about the needs of your society and how you can help meet them. It also is an opportunity to appreciate what you have in life compared to the less privileged.

Attend pilgrimages- living in spirit introduces you to a lot of people and places. Making a journey to a holy site or attending an event by a spiritual leader enhances your spirit. It provides a practical view of the spiritual reality. It changes what you have always read and heard into real things. A pilgrimage will transform your belief.
