What is a Spiritual Life?

Many times as one is looking for our life’s work, several questions come up:
What is my purpose in life?
Who am I?
Why am I here?
What am I supposed to do during my time here on earth?

Values become Beliefs become Behavior

These questions can only be answered from a spiritual, or values based system. In the hard core no-nonsense business world some people might call this useless or silly. Some would say it is a total waste of time
However, when one stops to ponder, all meaningful and lasting accomplishments and advancements in our world occur because of some sort of spiritual connection inside the person making that advancement.

Most of us in our lives have come across a situation like this:
When we were growing up or just starting to work, you end up â??helpingâ?? someone.
The job or chore ends up taking much longer than you first expected. Just about as this job is finished, the person you are working with notices something is not quite right.
The older wiser person sighs and says â??Weâ??ll have to take it apart and do it all over to fix this.â?? Inevitably because we are younger and more foolish, we suggest, â??Why donâ??t we just finish it as it is. Itâ??s not that big a deal, and nobody will know.â??
The wise teacher then looks us in the eye and says, â??I will know.â??.

It is work on improving this core belief system that will be the keystone of drug addiction treatment. When you can raise the standards in someone abusing drugs and alcohol you can stop the bahavior. This is the reason work on spiritual values always comes into play as part of any drug addiction program. More tommorow.
