8. Reflection is refreshing:
Don’t be afraid to think about the big questions of life that all human beings ask. Are there things you wonder about for which you have no answers? For example, why did God create ugly creatures? To heighten the contrast with beautiful ones? Or, why do some notorious and public bad fellows seem to have an easy and carefree life, while other evidently honest folks experience tremendous hardships? Not all such issues need to be strictly spiritual. Natural and metaphysical ponderings can also be very helpful and lead to the understanding of higher, supernatural realities.
For example, do you enjoy looking at the ocean? What does its beauty symbolize? What metaphysical qualities does it have? In what way can these qualities remind us of God?
