Spirituality : the state, quality, manner, or fact of being spiritual.
That is one dictionary definition or meaning of the word. No matter what dictionary you may pull out to look over the meaning of the same, you may have the same or an resembling answer. Well.........Sprituality, in my self dictionary means the inner instinct or capability of knowing yourself and the ability to look at everything positively, with positive spirit and positive attitude that exists through confidence that you were either born with or the confidence that you gained after being successful or the confidence that you gained after facing several failures and fighting hard or the way you could and finally finding "Nothings Impossible". Anyways, i'm not defying the dictionary definition, i 'm only furthering or extending it.
If you're a book, movie or a tv buff, you must have encountered several stories of people who made something out of nothing or people who made a successful come back after having a heavy downfall in their career and people who faced a lots of emotional stress, pressure or harrassment and finally broke out to live the kind of life they ever wanted and set an inspirational example for everyone who come to know about them. If you're the kind of selfless person that finds happiness in other people's happiness or feels to praise such people stated above, or feels proud of them for some reason , feel moved and/or motivated by their stories, then you must know what i'm trying to say.
My bottomline is to give it a shot to think how much do we value spiritualism in our real lives. Does watching famous spiritual philosophers on television or hearing them on the radio or reading their articles on the web, newspaper or magazine, make you agree or accept everything they say ? or you're the kind of person who eventually started realising your spiritual being after a certain experience in your life and now you feel every word they say ? or simply........ you're looking for a spiritual awakening ?. You couldn't be into it just because it sounds good.
The question is, how much exactly do we value spirituality and pay attention to it and what is it that makes us do so ?. Is it because no matter what medium it is : tv, radio, web, movie, we accept the spiritual thoughts and philosophies that we encounter , when we agree upon it or think that it should still be promoted to motivate or inspire every person , (specially) children, in order to gain moral values ? and/or you feel like to share your own personal spiritual being , publicly , as well ?. The reason could be anything depending from person to person or a certain number of people who absolutely agree with each other upon it but the other question that remains is why ?, that gap between the believers and the non-believers of spirituality. Why some believe in it and some who don't, no matter how much educated. I heared it once somewhere that confidence, comes from having faith in youself or someone you hold closest to your heart that brings confidence in you .The reason to talk about confidence here is beacause it is a very essential part of spirituaity. It need not be present in a person since birth, it could be eventually awakened but once it exists, you surely feel like to share it with someone, dont you?.
The fact of the matter is Spirituality exists in every one. Its just that when we realize it or how. Its a well known fact that people who are selfless and always willing to help others are the one who are never afraid of anything because they know they are right and right people need not be afraid of noone or nothing, only people who do wrong are always afraid of getting busted. If you were innocent and went through a lot of troubles, dont blame yourself. It's always tough to get over past in such case but if you succeed in getting up then you'll be an inspiration for those who went through the same thing like yours. So take the right step ahead to move on. Be bold and dare to will the impossible no matter how you are judged. You can never go wrong if you think you are right. If you lack confidence then that is temporary. Life is tough, short and you never realize how fast the time flies. If you've had failures before or did wrong things, that is your past and if you realize your mistakes and wrongs, it only means you have matured from it and trust me, you will definetely benefit from it. If you wanna be successful , you can and you will be successful by never giving up, always. Whatever situation you are in right now, remember, if you want to break out seriuosly, you will, by strongly willing it. So keep trying and never be afraid of failures.
Finally i would say that, whether you are a spiritual person or not, it need not be determined by having an idol or a guru whose thoughts and philosophies you share with others but you can also have your original ones in order to share it with the world someday. You can be, who you are who believes in itself and has the strength to be a motivation for yourself or others and expect nothing from nobody. Be True. Be Yourself.
