Spiritual Enlightenment - You Have Wisdom Strength and Determination

* Wisdom. We all have the gift of wisdom, although it's not always clear, particularly when we allow the desires, needs and rationalisation from our conscious mind to determine our actions.

Wisdom lies in our hearts and souls, put there by our spirit as well as our inherited memories and our experiences.

We know it is there by our conscience and our gut feelings. However, the significance of these feelings is in direct relationship to the way they're heeded. Somebody who invariably ignores and overrides them will to a large extent lose the ability to have conscience or gut feelings. Whereas somebody who nurtures them will find their significance enhanced.

As with many things it's a case of use it or lose it.

A wise person will have the habit of first finding the facts, absorbing them, then taking time to see what their conscience or gut feelings are before taking action..

So we all have the gift of wisdom, it is only as good as how we allow it to enter our lives

* Strength. We all have the gift of strength, be it physical, mental or spiritual.

Physical strength is often associated with muscular strength but it also applies to the strength required to withstand the rigours of living in our environment. We need to be able to more than exist but to live comfortably with wide variations in temperature and all the other variables of the environment. To care for this gift we need a sensible lifestyle with exercise, rest and a suitable diet. For without care and attention our gift of physical strength can soon be at risk.

Mental strength is the ability to acquire knowledge and relate it to building a satisfactory life. It is also how we use our knowledge to contend with unexpected events from left field. As well as being able to adapt and be flexible enough to stay mentally strong under adverse conditions.

To care for this gift we need to keep mentally active continually listening, observing and learning.

Spiritual strength is the ability to listen to our hearts and souls, the wisdom from within. It is also the strength from which we form our character and our personality. To care for this gift we need to take time out, to smell the roses to meditate or be quietly introspective.

* Determination. We all decide what we want to happen every decision we make determines our future. However, when our journey meets obstacles, it is determination to overcome or get round these obstacles which enables us to reach our destination. As they say, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going."

These two are gifts of determination.

This is the fourth article in a series related to Spiritual Enlightenment, so accept and nurture the gifts of wisdom, strength and determination. Bye for now.  Paul aka Arlen
