The promises aren't for when I'm just full of joy. The promises are for when I can't see any light. So I can hold on.
What do you do when inspiration seems to vanish? Joe McDonald tackles this very question in 'Times Without Inspiration' on the Position of Neutrality podcast. Drawing from the foundational teachings of Alcoholics Anonymous, Joe reminds us that sobriety isn't always a journey filled with constant motivation. Sometimes, it's about weathering the storm when the skies are grey and the path ahead seems unclear.
He begins with a poignant quote from the AA book, highlighting that occasional inspiration gradually becomes a part of our mindset. However, expecting to be perpetually inspired is unrealistic and can set us up for disappointment and even relapse. Joe delves into the importance of holding onto the promises of sobriety, especially during tough times. These promises aren't just for the joyous moments but also for when we feel stuck or lost.
Joe emphasizes making a conscious connection with a higher power, whatever that means to each person. This connection can offer comfort and guidance when we need it most. He encourages listeners to let go of the expectation of constant inspiration and to see uninspired moments as opportunities for growth and transformation. 'Times Without Inspiration' is a heartfelt episode that reassures us we're not alone on this journey.
It’s a reminder that even in our lowest moments, we have the tools and support to persevere. Tune in to discover how you can find hope and encouragement when inspiration seems far away.
