The Will To Carry On

Where there is 

a will

there is a

way.

The will of a

loving Higher Power 

will show you the way 

to love and peace.

The burdens of living can be sometimes so daunting that there

appears to be no need to carry on.

The body is wracked with illness or disease.

The mind cannot focus on simple matters because

so much is happening.

The soul has forgotten its place in our heart and we

feel abandoned and alone.

Accept.   (God's world)

Change.   (Your attitude)

The body is God's temple, take care to keep it strong.

"Our bodies are our gardens... our wills are our gardeners."  ~ William Shakespeare

Man has been blessed by a Higher Power to be able to see and to reason.

Men and women, whom we call scientist and doctors,

continue to understand more and have more resources to determine

why the body becomes sick or diseased.

Because of the ever increasing knowledge gained by the medical world, 

one's chances for surviving illnesses and disease have been greatly improved.

The will to carry on the research and to continue seeking more

medical knowledge is the inspiration of many people.

Curing the mind is a totally different bag of worms.

An attitude of gratitude is the first prerequisite for developing a healthy mind.
 
We must say a prayer of thanks every morning for being alive, sober 

and able to do God's will for one more day.

Do not just repeat the prayer, say the prayer with feelings, with conviction,

with an honest belief, because, lip service can get one into so much trouble.

To clear your mind you must learn to meditate, the art of listening 

to a Higher Power answering your prayers.

Ask your Higher Power to take those images and thoughts from

your mind which you have no control over. (Other people)

Ask your Higher Power to give you the strength to take the best action 

with those thoughts you can control. (Your attitude.)

Love, whether it is soft or tough, will usually cure most of

the dilemmas our minds can concoct.

Love your problems, love your enemies and your Higher Power

will make the problems go away and vanquish your enemies.

What love will not cure, accept, and let go and let God handle the outcome.

"Happiness is secured through virtue;
it is a good attained by man's own will."  ~St. Thomas Aquinas

To uplift your spirits, to find peace in your soul, ask to help someone else.

Be cautious, you will see many sick and suffering who may need your help,

but only those who ask for help will probably listen, no guarantees.

Put balance in your life.

A little love for self, a little love for your friends and leave a

little love for those who need it, even if you may never meet.

"Man has will, but woman has her way."  ~ Oliver Wendell Holmes

The will to carry on is not a burden, it is an attitude.

Today, give your attitude to your loving Higher Power and be content 

to carry on by doing  His will.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.
