"Economy Stimulus Program" to Enhance Your Spirituality

The "economy stimulus program" I am referring to is not regularly publicized. In fact, many people do not know what it is. It is merely how I see a major opportunity to turn inward and base our happiness on trust and faith, as well as doing what we love, being grateful for what we have and for the opportunities to serve others.
Ironically, the tough economy has offered many people more time to enjoy their life and make major changes. The illusion that things are our security, or what we need to be happy, is crumbling. Whether you have a lot or not, the key to inner peace is loving yourself, staying positive, and keeping your life simple, so that you can enjoy everyday, no matter what happens out there in the world.
An attitude of gratitude gives us lots of joy and an openness to receive and give even more. Making a difference in other people's lives makes a difference in our lives. We all have gifts to share and a life purpose. These make life meaningful and much more fulfilling than any things we may have.
When we enhance our spirituality, we live from more love, trust and faith.
We feel more peacefully powerful. We are in the divine flow. We are happier and healthier.

Spirituality Can Help Everyone During These Times

I will never forget what a Russian man said at a lecture before the wall came down. "The oppression encouraged the Russians to go inward and develop their spirituality."

Fortunately, we are not ruled by a dictatorship in the United States. It is helpful during these tough economic times to be very grateful for that fact. It is also helpful to develop our spirituality.

We can be spiritual and religious. We can also be spiritual and not religious, as well as religious and not spiritual.

What is the important difference? To me, spirituality is a state of trust and faith in the power of love and kindness. It is the state of our being which functions from our all-loving, all knowing, unlimited spiritual part.
It is the part we express by our caring and making a positive difference in anyway that we can.

To feel good during these times, focus on what you can do to be more caring to others and yourself. Be positive and grateful for everything and everyone. Then, when the recession ends, we can raise our heads up higher than ever before, because we have become a more spiritual nation and a model for many others!
