No one can do it for you. As you learn, consciousness expands, and life becomes more desirable. It is not for moral reasons that you grow, it is for self transformation.<\/p>\n<p>Spiritual growth has little to do with insight. It has everything to do with attitude.<\/p>\n<p>The three main attitudes of spiritual growth are:<br \/>\n1. Forgiveness.<br \/>\n2. Non-judgment.<br \/>\n3. Unconditional love.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Forgiveness releases negative emotions of anger, guilt, envy, etc., and provides closure on past events where mistakes may have been made. It clears the path of emotional rubbish, freeing the mind and heart to continue the journey of life. Forgive yourself as well as others.<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Non-judgment keeps the negative emotions away. If you don&#8217;t condemn, it is not necessary to forgive. The world is large enough for all the things. It is not necessary to have an opinion on everything.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Unconditional love overcomes fear of life, and fear of death. It replaces negative emotions. It brings understanding. You learn to love by practicing it.  The page on <a href=\"http:\/\/aleroy.com\/Love.htm\">Love, the healing force<\/a> will further explain.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The dichotomy of our physical world makes it an ideal environment to grow spiritually. Each day brings its challenges, and achievements. There are no circumstances, or conditions that inhibit growth. It matters not how, rich or poor, young or old, ill or healthy, spiritual growth can be practiced. The rewards are great, why are people waiting?<\/p>\n<p style='text-align:left'>&copy; 2019, <a href='https:\/\/aleroy.com\/blog'>Lekatt<\/a>.
