Spirituality, under the "Transcendence" catagory jumped out at me because I am living it every day, more i more, as my trust and faith grows. The book talks about having comfort through spirituality, kind of like a security blanket. People with spirituality have a set of beliefs that give purpose to their lives, and help guide their actions through a moral code. I can relate because before I got clean and sober, I was cut off from all spiritual realms, and could not see the light in any situation. I was litteraly in a hopeless pool of murky emotions with no liferaft in sight. Through time I've developed spirituality and belief in a god of my own understanding, and it's like a complete 180. Lately I've been relishing in the beauty of understanding that if I'm plugged in to my spiritual source of energy, or I have that metaphorical lifevest on, then no matter what comes my way I can stay level-headed and strong that in the end it will all be ok. I have a purpose on this earth, and I really believe that everything in life is playing out the way that it needs to be. This all ties in with gratitude, optimism and hope, forgiveness, and zest for life.
