SPIRITUALITY IN EVERYDAY LIFE

Spirituality is about knowing how to live. Through this knowledge comes happiness. True spirituality is not a system of worship or ritual. It is a positive attitude towards yourself and others, which makes life a joy rather than a struggle. All you need for a happy life can be a fulfilling relationship and a sense of purpose. Your happiness is not caused by external things but comes from inside. Material wealth will not bring you happiness or unhappiness.

There is no point looking only to the external world as a means of achieving happiness, without examining your personal values and attitudes first. Happiness cannot be found by simply hoping for the best. There are no short cuts. No one else and nothing outside yourself can create a permanent state of wellbeing for you. Creating this is your own responsibility. The material world can contribute to your happiness, guide and inspire you, but ultimately life is what you make it.

Exploring your deeper self brings understanding. With this understanding you begin to create the life you want.
