Questions of fortitude are often viewed in a religious context. It is assumed that it is religion that allows a person, even not very strong physically, to be stronger than his opponents, who are not armed with faith. But the experience of the ideological wars of the recent past shows that the universal values that a person follows make him strong, regardless of whether he follows religious postulates or the dictates of his soul.
Instructions
Step 1
To be a spiritually strong person, you need to work hard on yourself. To do this, you need to familiarize yourself with the experience and biography of those people who are considered recognized spiritual leaders. Moreover, it does not matter at all whether they were agnostics or religious people and what religion they professed. Read about them, find out their views and the philosophy that they preached. Rate how close they are to you, whether they coincide with what you think and feel, whether you agree with their postulates.
Step 2
Define a circle of spiritual values for yourself. It is by them that your spirituality will be judged. These are the parameters that cannot be changed under any circumstances. Your firmness in following your chosen ideals will be the degree of spirituality to which you strive.
Step 3
You must sincerely believe that the values you have chosen are more valuable than material goods. This, of course, does not mean that you refuse and neglect money, power. You should not do this, since they are a tool for the implementation of spiritual values. It is just that material values should not be put above all, and their achievement should not be the meaning of life and the goal for which one can neglect conscience.
Step 4
Learn to distinguish those who, hiding behind beautiful words and false slogans, declaring spiritual values, are actually concerned with their own selfish interests. Know how to see such people, and does not become the person whose consciousness can be manipulated by playing on base instincts. This is where you can fully manifest your spiritual strength.
Step 5
Monitor and be aware of your motivations for your actions. One should be guided in actions by the desire to create, act, bring good, compassion, finally. You should never be pushed by envy, a sense of revenge, greed, or fear to take action. You must become your own judge and adhere to the path chosen by you of your own free will. Nobody says that it is easy, but it will be easier for you to overcome difficulties, because you will follow those ideals that are characteristic of spiritually developed, and, therefore, strong personalities.
