When you are dealing with life in general, chances are you are like everyone else in your struggles. You generate loads of effort in the physical to succeed in what you do. The hours at work build. Getting into the office earlier then others and staying later then others. You see small incremental increases or promotion. But you find that physically you hit a wall..
Or you may be like others that may not generate much physical effort into their lives. But these same people pour hours into their spiritual faith. They believe if they pray enough and believe enough that success and riches will be theirs.
You may find though by experience that effort in life to succeed is achieved in both areas of your life. Neither alone allows you to fully achieve what you wish for in life. Faith will set you up for certain opportunity and the 'flesh & blood' will generate varied success. Having both will provide you with the keys to satisfaction in what is accomplished.
In my short life of nearly 50 years, I have seen and experienced both ends of the spectrum. I am a person of faith and belief in a greater being. Yet I understand that faith alone does not generate or in better words, do justice to the free will and ability we've been given. You have to get up from faith and make a move towards change. Movement creates change.
The same can be said about generating success on ability only. Many have gained many things on talent, on physical ability or even on mental genius. Yet I've seen too many that were not fulfilled by money, fame or success. Something always seemed missing from their lives. Faith will give you the spiritual strength you need. Movement creates change.
It is the achievement of success in your life based on both faith and talent. Each alone can allow you to succeed, but only in a limited fashion. To have both will lift you beyond your owns dreams. And it sounds so simple, which it really is. Does it guarantee all that you want? Probably no, yet how will you ever know if you don't try? Life itself isn't a guarantee and if you live it in faith and using the talent each of us possess will make it a great life.
So look at both aspects of your life. If you are struggling in the physical, maybe you need to work on the faith side of things. And vice versa, if you feel your faith is not generating that which you want in life, could be you aren't working hard enough at what your talents will allow. Get up and do something about it....Always remember that 'movement creates change.' Create change in your life and you will see great things happen.
