Do you feel you are growing more spiritual in your life? You may ask, “How would I know?” The first recognition that your spiritual growth is authentic is when you realize that you’re becoming more peaceful and tranquil and accepting of what you’ve been given. If you continue to get angry, stirred up, impatient, and controlling, then you need to work on some of the following things:
1. Exercise discipline over your thoughts, emotions, and actions.
2. Strive to have a closer relationship with God and a closer relationship with your true nature.
3. Live a natural, wholesome, uncomplicated life and nurture your physical health.
4. Strive to get beyond your ego and practice humility.
5. Cultivate and use your intellectual powers and intuition to determine your true self.
6. Meditate regularly in order to bring about physical relaxation, mental and emotional calmness, and a clear state of awareness.
