Hello, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to today’s lecture. First I’ll ask you a question—how do you live a spiritual life? Many people believe living a spiritual life is possible only in the forest, or in the mountains. However, taking a long-last trip to Tibet isn’t the only way to enrich your spirit. Here is a list of ways to live a spiritual life without leaving everything you have and going far away from home.
    Life is all about changes, whether you like it or not. The wise and strong person isn’t the one who can keep life unchangeable but the one who is always able to embrace any change. You’ll definitely encounter unexpected turns at work, at home and in a relationship. You can’t change the fact that life changes. Change your attitude towards this situation. Don’t be afraid of those unpredictable surprises of destiny—they can significantly improve your life.
    One of the main aspects of spiritually pure life is the way you treat people around you. Of course, we’re not perfect and everyone has some flaws. We can’t do everything ideally but all it means is that we should be more patient with each other’s mistakes. When you think that old lady annoys you with poor manners or a negative outlook, try to avoid judging her for this inappropriate behavior. First, it’s not your business. Second, are you perfect? Look at your own self before saying that you don’t like someone. Treat others the way you want to be treated and your life will be much more spiritually rich then.
    Spiritually pure life is impossible without looking at life from a different angle. Do you remember how it’s easy to give someone an advice or judge others? It happens so, because you can look at that person’s problem from a different angle. Same goes with your own life. If you try to estimate it as if it was someone else’s, you’ll see what you need to change in life. This way, you’ll get rid of settled impressions you have about yourself. Start doing it right now and gradually it’ll become a useful habit that’ll seriously change your entire life for the better.
    Healthy spirit means helping people and thinking less about your own happiness. Think how you can help others and do it whenever there’s a suitable chance. Maybe you have a child, a younger brother or a sister who attends school or college and needs the help of your more experienced mind. Maybe your parents can’t cope with those modern tech tools. There’s no need to wait until someone asks you to do a favor. If you realize you can help someone, just do so without waiting for a request.
    Hope you like today’s lecture. Thank you!
