Life and death are two sides of the same coin
Yet we embrace the first and shun the last
But no matter which view of life we join
Death is something that surely will come to pass

So be mindful of this fact in living
And seek to enrich the quality of your life
Think carefully of what you are doing
And always seek to avoid needless strife

If you help others as you go along
The peace of mind from this will be your gain
And as mentioned in the words of the song
Surely your life would not have been in vain

Live your life in such a meaningful way
That gives contentment and satisfaction
So that when your death arrives you can say
My life was truly a mission well done

Society tends to mislabel introverts as being antisocial or reclusive, but this isn’t true. As introverts, we tend to speak with like-minded people versus anyone or everyone. Sometimes, we choose not to speak at all. That doesn’t mean we are not interested in what is being said… it means that we would much rather listen than talk.
Often, an extrovert will ask an introvert, “You’re so quiet, what’s wrong with you?” There’s nothing wrong with us! It is difficult for the introvert to understand why everyone isn’t like he or she.
One of the most famous introverts was Gandhi. I seriously doubt if anyone asked him, “What’s wrong with you?” Despite his introvertedness, he was socially available for interviews and public appearances.
The extrovert tends to be more interested in his or her environment and in socializing with other people while the introvert is more interested in his or her thoughts and feelings. This doesn’t necessarily mean that the introvert cannot have extroverted tendencies or vice-versa. It simply means that there are general tendencies that seem to be consistent with both the introvert and the extrovert.
If given the choice, the introvert will prefer to work alone or in small groups than with a largegroup of Why Are Spiritual People Generally Introverts? ' The ideal profession for the introvert does not involve being around a lot of people and may include careers in writing, computer programming, webmasters and graphic design. In the end, the introvert could do virtually any job that an extrovert can do but ultimately, introverts need to find their own space at the end of the day.
Many introverts are avid readers and are constantly studying and researching various topics of interest, including spirituality and metaphysics. Reading may come in various forms such as books, e-books or internet articles.
The introvert tends to be guided by his or her higher self in what areas to pursue when researching spiritual and metaphysical topics, almost as if the higher self is guiding the introvert (which it is!).
By internalizing their feelings, the introverts are susceptible to anxiety related issues such as
migraines and Why Are Spiritual People Generally Introverts?Because the introvert tends to look within for answers, he or she will find it easier to meditate and to quiet the mind. The extrovert’s mind tends to remain overactive as he or she will often have difficulty quieting the mind while focusing within.
Another common spiritual activity for the introvert is yoga, which integrates the body and mind while the extrovert is more apt to play team sports. In yoga, one uses their body as a vehicle for consciousness while in most sports, the body is used as a vehicle for aggression. Once again, this does not mean that the introvert will not participate in team sports, nor does it mean that the extrovert will not practice yoga. These are general tendencies that introverts and extroverts exhibit in every day life.
The introvert may have a stronger bond with nature as nature may not provide enough stimulation for the extrovert. You will generally find that people who enjoy hiking are predominantly introverts, as they appreciate the solitude and oneness they receive from being outdoors in whatever particular element of nature that they enjoy
Stargazing is another popular activity for the introvert for the same reason, as extroverts will become quickly bored with staring at the sky and may not understand how the stars are connected to our bodies and everything that is happening on our planet.
While 75% of the population are extroverts, the introvert needs to remain true to his or herself, despite peer pressure to conform to society. Despite not wanting the acknowledgement or recognition, the spiritualists within this genre are the leaders of tomorrow’s world as we enter a new stage of consciousness and spiritual awareness.

“You can’t understand others unless you understand yourself”.
Self-awareness and personal insight increases perception and sensitivity towards others. Start by accepting the fact that people are very complex and different. Knowing yourself first opens the door to understanding others and then walking through the door leads you down the path to being able to establish good and positive relationships with others.

I See Myself As A Person....
I became aware of the many hard-to-swallow realities in the world, nevertheless discerning the right from the wrong. My principles are solid, and I rarely find myself following the tide, though not so much that I am alienated, but rather, playing on a different beat in the same harmony....

Self knowledge is essential in figuring out what’s optional and not optional to our individual well-being. There’s power – and sometimes conflict – in knowing yourself and letting that understanding help guide your life.

-At the beginning of the road there is a crossroads. There you can stop and think what direction you're taking. But do not stay too long, or you'll never leave this place. Become Castaneda classic question: which of these paths has a heart? Reflect a lot of options in front of you, but once you take the first step, definitely forget the crossroads, because otherwise you never stop torturing yourself with the useless question: "Is the path I chose was the correct" If you listened to your heart before you get moving, certainly chose the right path.
The path does not last forever. It is a blessing cross it for a while, but one day end, so always be prepared to fire you at any point. As much as you dazzle certain landscapes, or scare you certain stretches where you have to make special efforts to remain standing, do not cling to anything. Neither the moments of euphoria, nor to the endless days when everything seems so difficult and progress is slow. More sooner or later will come an angel, and your journey will come to an end. Do not forget.
Insofar as you respect the ground you step on, that ground will respect your feet. Always do what is best to conserve and keep your path and he will do the same for you.
-care of the path before you take care of what is around you: attention and concentration are essential. Do not let dry leaves Wayside distract you, or that the way others look after their own ways divert your attention. Use your energy to tend and conserve the ground that accepts your steps.
Be patient. Sometimes you need to repeat the same tasks, like pulling weeds or closing holes that appear after unexpected rain. Do not let that enrage, as part of the trip. Despite the fatigue, and despite repetitive tasks, be patient.

I have always tried to listen to that little, inner voice to guide me in my decisions on serious as well as frivolous questions.

I think we all have a little voice inside us that will guide us. It may be God, I don’t know. But I think that if we shut out all the noise and clutter from our lives and listen to that voice, it will tell us the right thing to do. — Christopher Reeve.

The heart knows what it wants,
and it often makes no sense.
Intuition, creativity, and
listening are all imperative
in creating an inspired life. Jonathan H. Ellerby.
