The Second Step

When it comes to navigating a coarse through our life, it pays to have constellations that we can steer by that can and will lead us forward to healthier places. These so-called "stars" I term as "spiritual principles." Though these are

Living though principles like "hope, honest communication, trust, compassion, etc..." are amazingly valuable if we are really engaged in making the relationship with our self and others better. It means learning to live in the solution and not the problem.

Unspiritual principles are things like, "selfishness, dishonesty, closedmindedness, mistrust, etc..." The result is obvious. Operating on those principles brings anxiety, depression and a sense of hopelessness, where people feel like we are not in control of our life. And quite frankly, there's no hope of having a sense of stability within ourselves.

Sometimes, I like to think of "spiritual principles, kind of like the "knob," on a radio, that helps us get on the "right," frequency with ourselves and others. The more we work to apply ourselves to "tuning-in" to spiritual principles, the easier it is to navigate though the day-to-day stressors and difficulties in our live, especially in the area's where we are our own "crisis creators."

Someone once told me, "The more and more that you listen, the more and more that you will hear." The more effort that we make in finding ways to steer by spiritual principles, the healthier we can become, physically, mentally and spiritually. We may also come to learn that especially when there is a lot of turmoil and difficulty in our lives that "Living" by spiritual principles given us shelter from the storms we may experience in our lives.
