This purpose of this Manual is to assist us with understanding Spiritual Fitness as “being right” with God, with others and with oneself. “Being right” means that we are “who” we should be at any given moment in time, that we are true to our own values and convictions, and that we seek to positively grow and mature as members of our military community. “Being right” indicates that we are comfortable and at peace within ourselves, that we are satisfied with our personal participation in the many relationships of life. This satisfaction includes having peace with God. You can download the manual in PDF format at this link: The Spiritual Fitness Manual |
