INNER SOUL
The spiritual self, which emphasizes the mind-body-spirit link, is an ongoing, personal life journey that is contextualized by belief in God, culture, relationships, nature, and seeking purpose in one's life. Spirituality refers to the search for meaning and purpose in one's life that extends beyond the physical reality of one's life.
Spirituality is interpersonal; through the search for and application of meaning in one's life, we build and maintain relationships not just with people, but also with other living forms and with God.
Religiosity is a formal connection to a certain church's set of beliefs, ideals, and practices. It consists of specific religious activities, religious prescriptions and involvement in a religious society.
OVERALL LEARNINGThis chapter helped me to find my true value in this world as well as to put valuable meaning to my life. As I grow old, I tend to ask myself every night, “am I really happy with my life?” “Is this really the life that I want for myself?” “Do I really enjoy living and coexisting with other people like me?”
Those are the questions that haunt me every night. Like any other people, there are paces in my life I that I found ambiguous, it feels like walking on a dark empty street without any glimpse of light. It’s like walking in a thread of uncertainty. I also created wrong choices and took mishaps to get me where I found myself.
Alongside with this chapter, it really accompanied to not stop looking for my true value, hence, due to this chapter, I realized that life is a never-ending journey full of choices and paths and we are just lost travellers seeking for true beauty in it. As travellers, we will feel tired and it is when our spiritual self occurred, it helps us to become resilient amidst challenges and life storms that occur in our lives. Spirituality enables us to instil purpose, vision, and ideals in our actions. Most significantly, it allows us to rediscover ourselves.
