| | Putting Spirit First: Goals For Your SoulWritten by Avalon De Witt
"But seek ye first kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Matt. 6:33If you've ever set very many goals, you've probably had at least one goal that you just can't seem to reach. You can't seem to lose those last, stubborn five pounds. Or you can never seem to get caught up on your bills. You are passionate about your goal. You read everything experts say. You follow their advice to best of your ability. Still, despite all your hard effort, something seems to be blocking your success. What could it be? If you find yourself spinning your wheels, check to see if Spirit is your Number One Priority. Your relationship with Spirit will set scene for all other relationships in your life. It may be time to sit down and set some clear goals for your soul. Perhaps you've felt an urge to deepen your meditations or connect with your angels. Or maybe you've been meaning to learn a skill such as astral travel or aligning your chakras. Spiritual goals are most important, most effective, most powerful goals we can make. When you make spiritual goals your first priority in goal-setting, it puts wind in your sails! When you put Spirit first, you are much more likely to succeed at your other goals. Here are 8 empowering thoughts to consider: 1. Spirituality is not in competition with "mundane life." It is very source of it. You are on a spiritual journey whether you realize it or not. Your mind is projector of your life movie, and your world is screen. Not making a conscious decision about your soul - is still a decision. The spiritual world is not divided from "real world." They are one and same. We are each, always experiencing God. 2. The soul is a body too. It benefits from food, exercise, cleansing, and rest. Whether you want to start a Bible study group or awaken your kundalini, key is to make a loving decision to raise your soul'sconsciousness. If you can find time to brush your teeth and comb your hair, you can find time for basics such as grounding, centering, and shielding. 3. Spiritual development is a very personal and individual experience. Seek truth of your own experience to decide what is right for you. Who do you truly want to be? What race do you want to run in this life? If you don't decide for yourself, something or someone else will! Just don't forget to set goals for afterlife as well as this one!
