Having Grit and Exploring Spiritual Feelings

Resilience is bouncing back from any hardships that any person may face in life, coming back stronger, mentally, and physically from that hardship and moving on to make a more meaningful life. Grit refers to the willpower that an individual shows in pursuing his long-term goals. For any person to demonstrate resilience and high grit, he should have a positive orientation in life with profound values and purpose through which they attain meaning in life. It can be assumed that if the level of mysticism/spirituality would below, there will be low grit as well as low resilience observed.

Spirituality is a private belief that acts as a sieve through which an individual perceives and understands the world. It influences how they live, how they react to stressful situations, how well, and how speedily he recovers from moving strain. It gives a sense of meaning to this gift of life and may or may not contain belief in higher divine supremacy. People with a spiritual direction may view a diversity of life’s areas as sacred and, thus, look for help when they feel that their emotional and physical well-being is threatened.

People with spiritual preferences live with the belief of the power of now, reason, and the gleam of hope from that faith even in adverse circumstances. Spiritual achievement, aspiring to each the hoy as a goal of life, has been found to associate highest with well-being in comparison to other forms of determination. Spiritual striving can progress a sense of self emotional intelligence, and relationships and makes a connection to the transcendent.

Individual Journeys vary

Each person has an inborn self-righting tendency- a capability for resilience – and this capacity is linked to one’s true spiritual nature. Howell (2013) asserts spiritual people to be compassionate, optimistic, having higher, self-actualized, self-esteem, and take time to contemplate on their activities correlating with positive emotions with small joys.

An unexpected blow in personal life like the death of a loved one, a crippling accident, a life-changing illness, loss of a job, change of school, change of city something we can’t avoid. Everybody faces some circumstances in his or her life that can cause sorrow. These events may not be life-threatening but do cause emotional suffering which affects one’s own life as well as that of those around him, associated with him.

But still, there is the common good, among others to explore after such pain.
