What is Spirituality %%FIRST_NAME%%?  If you ask 100 people this question, you’ll likely get 100 different answers.  It can mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people.

If I say “pineapple” or “coconut” then most people have clear definition of what I’m describing.  However, if I say the word “beauty?” then there’s no longer a clear definition.  Same is true for the word “art” because what’s garbage to one person can be art to the other.  There is no clearly defined or agreed upon  definition of the word because Spirituality is intangible.  You can’t see it, you can’t hear it, you can’t touch it, you can’t smell it – it’s incapable of being perceived by the senses.  That makes this chapter a little different than the others.  Your Spirituality blueprint is going to be deeply personal %%FIRST_NAME%%.

People often confuse “Spirituality” with “Religion.”  People can be both religious and Spiritual, but it’s also possible to be religious without being Spiritual, or to be Spiritual without being religious.  For this blueprint %%FIRST_NAME%%, let’s make a distinction between the two.

Religion is a commitment or devotion to religious faith or observance.  It’s a collective group of attitudes, beliefs, rules, rituals, with moral, social, and cultural practices which are passed down from generation to generation.

Spirituality is not passed down from previous generations.  It’s our own personal relationship with our creator, or with a higher power, or with our universe, or with nature, or with our own inner self.   It goes to directly to “who are you?”, “why are you here?”, “what’s the meaning of life?” 

Those aren’t answers someone else can give you %%FIRST_NAME%%, it’s up to you to think about, and discover the answers for yourself.  If you are religious, then those beliefs will have an influence on your Spiritual Life, but your thinking shouldn’t stop with your religion.  Good people can use religion to help many people and do many good things, while at the same time, a bad person can use the same religion to hurt people, and do bad things.  This is an inner look at yourself %%FIRST_NAME%%, and not at your religion.

Your Abundance Blueprint allows you to clearly define who you are, and what you want in every category of your life %%FIRST_NAME%%.  Furthermore, it gives you the choices you need to make, and the actions you need to take to get those things.  Even though Spirituality is intangible, were going to do the same with this area of your life.
