Hone your spirituality—the spirit in which
you live life. Avoid allowing an unchangeable past or an uncertain future to
ruin the splendid gift of today.
Defining spirituality can be a bit
challenging. Some have explained it as the sense of awe you experience when
overwhelmed with the beauty of nature, music, architecture, religious rites,
meditation, or a connection with a Higher Power as you perceive it, or when in
the grip of deep compassion, empathy, or gratitude. The triggers for awe in
your brain and the choices you make related to spirituality are impacted by a myriad
of factors. Some are based on information, education, and expectations, while
others involve past experiences, innate giftedness, role-modeling, or personal
desire. Some advocate identifying what evokes
a sense of awe in your brain and regularly engaging in those
experiences. Actor Martin Sheen had an interesting perspective, “The
direction of the universe can and will be determined by the presence of
individual spirituality or the lack of it. If you would change the world,
change yourself and it is done.” More tomorrow.
