To me -

Spirituality is believing in something

or someone far greater than myself,

who loves me without conditions,

when I succeed and when I fail.

Spirituality is not a religion

and does not limit itself with definitions,

or punish me for my mistakes.

Spirituality never produces remorse or guilt,

but always strength without aggression,

confidence without complacency,

and tolerance without animosity.

Spirituality lets me forgive when I've

been wronged, knowing I could be

wronged when I forgive.

Spirituality is giving comfort to those who want it,

and feeling defeat for those who don't.

Spirituality gives me the confidence

to go forward, and the conviction to stop.

Spirituality gives me the ability to

encourage friends to do right,

and the courage not to follow when they don't.

Spirituality is obtaining knowledge without fear,

knowing that man's ability to learn is our greatest gift.

Spirituality eliminates the fear of dying

by having faith and confidence

in a power far greater than myself.

If you live with Spirituality you'll find peace,

knowing you've done your best,

for yourself and everyone around you.
