Optimism with a Correction.

 

  

Well in stating  my definition of Optimism in an earlier post, I reluctantly but wisely make a correction to it.

If Circumstances are extremely challenging, then you and I probably will persevere.and battle onwards.

But if the challenge is too great to overcome or conquer, then it's time to call in the artillery or big guns.

Call it a day? No! Start to pray!. 

Unless you are of the conquering hero mindset like Alexander the Great then  you won't  need to humble yourself and call on that supernatural being known by the term: GOD.

Of course, the term, "God " is a catch all term. Likely what you mean by that word doesn't match what I could mean.You could describe the God by the name,Allah? Or maybe Krishna? Perhaps you know that supernatural being as the Father? 

Of course, you might not know God but you know Goddess? Do you?

Some see entertainers as Gods and Goddesses. Some treat tangible things as having God-like powers.  Technology is surrounded by a kind of superior power. Ideas by some Humans are embued with power. Some nations treat their populations as subhuman.

Coups by evil men and some women defy the rule of equality,sanctity and good conscience. 

Anyway I've drawn the picture poorly. If you turn to what the twelve -step programs term,a higher power,you need only to ask for help humbly and help shall be on its way.

By recommending this course of action, I am revealing my so -called inferiority declaring that I am unable to direct,control and orchestrate my life-journey. 

I need more! I admit I'm not enough.

Why so ? 

Plunged into the flood waters of conflict and confusion, i need someone and something else.

By definition, God is God who is a super- natural person  who defines  life-outcomes and sustains our little universe. 

Of course you may or may not believe that.  But as surely as the sun rises,God  is sovereign and reigns supreme. 

Believe it or not.
