Hard Times can lead to motivation

It seems that lately, numerous people I know, are going through hard times. Whether it’s problems at work, health issues, economic constraints, or dealing with handicaps, in each case, the difficulty they are going through has spurred them to action of one kind of another.

As a result, I wonder if their whole self, their spiritual self, has been trying to get them to enlarge their lives, pursue greater goals, and live healthier lifestyles, and after trying over and over again to get through to the person with gentle hints, longings, and desires to improve their lives, in the end, putting in a difficult situation has motivated them … finally … to action.
