find my spirituality

I have read Spirituality for Dummies and Eat Pray Love to aid in my quest to find my spirit. As well, have done much contemplation to determine what spirituality means to me. I feel that I have finally come to the point where I can say that I have found a road to continue in my spiritual journey. This road will include prayer, meditation, and contemplative writing in my everyday life. Furthermore, I will attempt to embrace nature and include services of dedication in my life as frequently as possible.

To provide some support to the rest of you, I have been selecting quotes from both of the previously mentioned books to help me remember the important ideas that were presented by the authors. If anyone is interested, they are posted on my live journal in the following link: http://sestanjn.livejournal.com/

I believe in God and that he exists in the realm of the after life.

I believe I am given the free-will to choose how to live my life on earth.

I believe there are two aspects that need to be nurtured in every human being – their physical body and their eternal soul.

I believe life is a precious gift that should not be taken for granted.

I believe the purpose of life is to live each moment to the fullest.

I believe in the principle of karma – the cycle of cause and effect.

I believe life only gives you what you can handle.

I believe each challenging task in life is designed to teach an important lesson.

I believe individuals can only exert control over the present moment.

I believe the reality of life is in the eye of the perceiver.

I am starting this goal through reading. I have already read the book Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert and I found it quite enlightening in the scope of spirituality. The next book on my reading list is Spirituality for Dummies by Sharon Janis. I am hoping that it will further inspire my spiritual discovery.
