Strengthening the spirit

Strengthening the spirit

What does it mean to strengthen the spirit?

In DREVO's New Psychology, spirit is an inner strength that helps a person remain true to their values, move toward their purpose, and not give up on their path in the face of difficulties.

• If the soul answers the question:
• "Who am I?"
• then the spirit answers:
• “What do I live for and what am I ready to bring to the world?”

Strengthening your spirit means developing the ability to live in accordance with your convictions, even when it requires courage, patience, and self-discipline.

What weakens the spirit?

The spirit weakens when a person:

• lives contrary to his values;
• constantly refuses to go back on his decisions;
• shifts responsibility to others;
• afraid of change;
• loses the meaning of life;
• stops developing;
• allows fear to completely determine one's actions.

Weakening of the spirit is not manifested in a lack of strength, but in the loss of inner direction.

What strengthens the spirit?

The spirit is strengthened through real actions.

Every time a person consciously chooses creation over destruction, responsibility over indifference, honesty over lies, he strengthens his spirit.

The main practices are:

• keeping one's word;
• keeping promises;
• acceptance of responsibility;
• voluntary overcoming of difficulties;
• continuous learning;
• service to people;
• caring for nature;
• creative work;→
• protection of justice;
• development of discipline;
• cultivation of patience;
• Gratitude.→

The spirit grows not from words, but from actions.

Will and spirit

• Willpower is the ability to control oneself and make conscious choices.
• The Spirit determines the direction of this choice.
• Will answers the question:
• "Can I do this?"
• The spirit answers:
• "Why am I doing this?"
• When willpower is combined with high values, inner stability appears.

Trials

Trials are not only a source of suffering, but also an opportunity for growth.

Difficulties allow a person to see:

• how true he is to his principles;
• is he able to maintain dignity;
• is able to help others even in difficult conditions;
• is able to continue on after failures.

The spirit is strengthened not by the absence of trials, but by how a person goes through them.

Signs of a strong spirit

A man with a strong spirit:

• maintains dignity;
• accepts responsibility;
• knows how to admit mistakes;
• does not lose humanity in conflict;
• capable of long-term work;
• keeps hope alive in difficult times;
• inspires by example, not just by words;
• strives to create more than to destroy.

The main principle

A strong spirit is not a desire to dominate others.

This is the ability to manage oneself.

The more a person is able to control his own thoughts, emotions, actions and desires, the freer he becomes.

Freedom does not begin when external restrictions disappear.

Freedom begins when a person becomes his own master.

Strengthening the spirit is a continuous process of cultivating inner freedom, responsibility, and the ability to consciously choose the path of creation, regardless of external circumstances.
