In this third blog about finding “the good life”, I am going
to touch on spiritual awareness. It is a
fairly difficult thing to define because it can mean different things to
different people. Generally, it is a
greater understanding of one’s own spirituality and how it can help you better
relate to the world around you. Some
find spirituality with formal religious practices, while others achieve
spiritual awareness through meditation, a walk in the forest, or working in
their garden and communing with nature. Spiritual
awareness comes to us when we find a sense of inner peace and knowing that this
is the right path for me. Spiritual
awareness brings about an awareness of who you are as a person, and knowing
yourself completely. This is true
enlightenment. We do not truly enjoy the
world around us when we are plagued by fears, doubts and worries. We must find an inner sense of peace and joy
to see the beauty of our lives. Helen
Keller said that “The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or
even touched. They must be felt within the heart.” If we learn something profound and true and
can let it become part of us, felt within our heart, we have made the first
step towards achieving enlightenment.
Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.
- Lao-Tzu

Here are some photos that reflect the inner peace and beauty in nature.
