There's a lot of discussion today about the American economic and political turmoil going on. To briefly touch on this subject, I'd like to discuss the idea of growth as a key to freedom.
One of the potential solutions to the fiscal difficulties that our country faces is to adopt pro-growth policies and turn the market free to work its "creative destruction" and increase the available pool of wealth to help meet the needs we are presented with.
Leaving aside the ramifications of such a macro-economic concept, I'd like to apply it on a personal level. If you find yourself challenged by an addiction, grow your way out of it. Look to expand your horizons, your giving, your service, your dedication to work and family. You did this already as a child. Many things are tremendously difficult as a child, but you grow up and they become small things.
Ask God to help you outgrow your addiction, so that it becomes a small thing, easily healed.

I believe a meaningful life is a life that has been re-arranged so that your strengths are dedicated to something greater than self. This should bring a greater and more lasting happiness than a life dedicated to self-serving ambitions.
ReplyDeleteAnother way of saying this; I believe it is better to be inspired than it is to be motivated.
