also changes for the better in many ways. Most
of our problems stem from our perceptions and
expectations of ourselves and of the world. One

us to imbibe humility. Spirituality and inner
peace is a way of life. It helps us to develop great
strength and courage. Spiritual growth and
development help to make human beings better
citizens.
