Motivation Spirit

by Thomas Cummins

My world is falling apart! The bills are way over due and the Laws of Attraction seem to be ignoring me! My car just died! My house burned down! My spouse is cheating on me! I am cheating on my partner! Will this winter in my life ever end?
All of the above and more besides are continuous exclamations daily echoed across the globe and one wonders what power is afoot to be tormenting the world like so? Where is God and is the population too large for even God to be able to pay attention to everyone? Tibet is under a revolt with China not being very diplomatic, Iraq is in a state of turmoil. The stock market is facing something that is akin to a fallout and where is the utopia we have all been expecting?
It is at times like this that motivations blessings are felt and it is extremely important that every effort is sought and experienced in order to turn the tide around. Search the www and there are so many avenues for encouragement that it makes one wonder what is missing that motivation does not have a similar effect as popping an antibiotic to cure an infection.
The answer lies in realizing that we are not alone and to cope alone is not necessary and to seek council of friends or family or an unbiased entity to assist one in overcoming the disasters life is throwing with careless abandon in all directions and striking anyone whose head is up looking for a better way of life. It is as if life wants to keep us down but we know that God has promised us abundance. In the book ‘when bad things happen to good people’ the author delivers the message that there are forces always working to bring despair our way; but we have to prevail and believe that God is working for us and we need to keep going.
In truth it is really hard to believe that there is a God who allows so much destruction and harm and infliction of hurt suffering and pain on so many but if we give in to despair then we have lost and mankind has failed. But we know this is not going to happen and that mankind will triumph and when we trust in the God given depth of faith life will eventually turn around. Every day each of us has to reinforce this belief like an athlete in training who knows he or she has to train daily in order to be ready for the marathon he or she is training for.
