Counselor’s Corner: The joy of spirituality

By Fred Cavaiani

Spirituality begins with the heart.

Life is meant to be a consistent and humble experience of the divine.

Whenever I condemn and judge others, I lose a positive perspective of life.

Peace results from being a loving and kind person.

Spirituality and positive psychological awareness come from quiet time with God.

When I speak lovingly and positively, my heart becomes filled with God’s loving presence.

Negativity blocks us from joy.

Positive words and actions bring us into a joyful experience of God.

Easy to be negative but when I am positive and loving, life will become peaceful and loving.

Joy happens when I live only in this present moment.

I must not invest in changing others. I must invest only in loving others.

Joy in life is the result of investing in God’s love and investing in love and kindness toward everyone.

When I am negative or critical I block a loving experience of God.

When I become kind, loving and affirming I am able to experience and embrace my own emotional wounds. This becomes the process of healing.

Anger, criticism and resentments block me from healing. 

I must feel my real pain in order to heal. 

In God, I will experience love, peace and joy in each present moment.

What a joy to invest my heart in God’s Love. 

The last two weeks of December can help us to joyfully experience God.
