Dear Room,
I believe that being prepared as much as you can for emergencies is always a good thing, but I feel it is not very good to be obsessive about it. I think as a spiritual person, it is up to me to try to be as positive as I can and not let myself be lured into negative thinking. If I allow myself to be pulled down into the negativity of the world, then how can I do anything spiritual for anyone who needs that little boost I can give them at times?
I believe I should be positive enough to give people a thread at least of hope for tomorrow or even the next 5 minutes anytime they need it and I find myself there to help. When I look around myself today and see how much the world has changed since I was born it would be so easy to let it pull me into the depths of despair, but I won't let it, or at least I try not to let it and try to keep a smile on my face and make those pulls at me that want me to give up go away. As I think back through history, nothing was done to get through the hard times by staying back on the sidelines waiting for someone else to do the uplifting moving forward actions it took to make changes. It took a positive thought that it could be done that caught onto lots of people who all worked together to make things right again.
The more complicated the world gets, the more complicated it gets to keep up, so it is a threat to that positive outlook on life and what can be done with a little encouragement.
I have learned also that praise goes along with accomplishment. The more someone is praised (genuinely), the more they will take pride in their job or their life than if they are shunned and put down at every step.
It takes alot of courage and strength to step out of the ruts and help everything to a position on the smooth road in life, but it can be done. I try to recognize that I am one person and I can't help everyone, but if I help one, then that one will help others and so it should go on. These little steps are the positive outlook we can all have no matter what we might have to face in the future. I also still believe that God does not send us more than we can bear and if we just turn our eyes and heart to God/Creator the help will come.
Love in Light and Peace,
