Our spiritual energy drives us at a profound level. It's what motivates us and what encourages us in our determination to succeed.

We're not referring to specific religious beliefs here, which some, but not all of us may hold, but to something far more general and fundamental. Spiritual energy is about our connection to a deeply held set of values and to a purpose that transcends our own self-interest.

The most successful people tend to be those most passionate about their work and their lives as a whole. They're not necessarily the most talented; it's their passion that gives them the strength to succeed when others give up.

We all face extraordinary demands on our time and our energy. Few of us are content to be ordinary, in our work, our marriages, as parents, as children, or within our communities. That's why we need deeply held values, to drive our purpose.

If we live in alignment with our most deeply held values, then we're fuelling our growth and development. But too often, the decisions we make are barely decisions at all. They're emotional reactions to what we're experiencing, and often serve to fill some momentary emotional deficit.
