Using Your Spirituality as Your Lifeline

I was able to really understand the power of God and our great universe when we visited the Grand Canyon this past summer. The view really gives a perspective of something much bigger than "us". If you ever get a chance, it is a worth-while trip! This is what inspired the below post that I wrote for the Examiner.com before they closed their on line doors and took the content down.

Using Spirituality as your lifeline

We’re so fortunate to be gifted with life, what a glorious sensation; to be part of the vibrations of humanity impacting the world! When it feels like the world is impacting you and this is probably more often than not these days, recognizing and relying on your spirituality is essential!

It can be the key to finding your peace of mind regardless if you are a religious person or not.  As defined by Brene Brown,

“Spirituality is recognizing and celebrating that we are all inextricably connected to each other by a power greater than all of us, and that our connection to that power and to one another is grounded in love and compassion. Practicing spirituality brings a sense of perspective, meaning, and purpose to our lives.”

This starts with understanding philosophically, the intangible powers of the universe. This power reaches into each of us validating our existence; we are not alone, we’re part of the whole. Tangibly, imagine you’re like a small grain of sand playing its part and holding its place at the ocean’s side. How can you feel peace, guidance and love from such an indescribable source?

You can feel this by being conscious of your individual part and how this part impacts the whole. We are beautiful creations and we are capable of surviving anything disrupting our journeys. This is something you must embrace to empower your zest for life.  Realizing you can’t control others but you can control yourself, and by trusting “this to will pass” and with a mindset of, "I'm capable of handling whatever comes my way", knowing if you can't figure it out, you will find someone who can. With this thinking, you’ll find it easier to navigate back to your own peace of mind gifting yourself clarity with the thoughts framed above. 

By living your life as kindly as possible, generating a positive worldly influence, even when you’re feeling like a specimen under the universal microscope, you’ll find your spirituality can be your lifeline!
