How Can I Take Charge Of My Spiritual Life Journey

By Kristen Baird


Physical and spiritual lives are comparable to a large extent. Their similarity lies in the desire to make every bit better and more fulfilling. When you have gone astray, changing the path of your destiny is as challenging as going to the gym to keep fit or changing your lifestyle by quitting smoking, among other traits. How then do I take control of my spiritual life journey?

A lot of struggle goes into becoming a deeper and more meaningful person. External changes appear easier to make considering that there are physical beacons to support your endeavor. By taking pills, registering in a gym, keeping off some people and avoiding some areas, you have already achieved a lot. Life in the spirit is a bit different because it does not have a tangible part.

The choice to alter the direction of your life will bring you to your desired destiny. This change can only be manifested in behavior since it is a matter of the spirit. When the desire to change exists and a decision has been made, then your inner person begins to yearn for an authentic, pure and deeper meaning. This is the way to take charge of your journey.

There is a voice that speaks within and gives you directions. The voice is usually about the right things to do and what to avoid. In order to arrive at your destiny or to find your authentic personality, listen to this voice. This voice governs your thoughts and actions and will lead to conflict if it is ignored.

Being in touch with your inner dimension will make you long for a better self. Experts have suggested that you should spend time in discernment in order to understand the inner calling. Only by so doing are you able to lock out distracting voices and identify the right path for you.

To find the authentic path for spiritual growth, it is important to ask certain fundamental questions. What if I was gentler? More loving? Less selfish? More generous? Kinder? More patient? More compassionate? More humble? Etc. Such questions help you to evaluate your life and begin to change your heart.

Expert are still struggling to understand if change can be achieved though exclusive individual effort. They are of the opinion that external intervention is necessary. An example is a house whose renovation requires new furniture and installations. The external force required is your religious commitment. It will offer direction to your life.

Every human being has a spiritual aspect that determines values, morality and attitudes. Neglecting this aspect makes your heart to wear out and deviate from the desired path. For restoration to take place, a spirit driven process needs to take place. The bible commands every Christian to work towards resembling Christ. This is a daily struggle that requires commitment.

The irony of change is that you cannot complete it on your own and neither can it happen without your active participation. The first step is to desire and make a decision to change. When this happens, you gain clarity of purpose and your destiny can be achieved. Restoration begins to happen.
