Personal Trainers

 Many people have personal trainers or belong to a group with a trainer.  You believe in the trainer and what good they can do and want for you.  Belief is not the issue once you find the trainer.  The problem is that you cannot get the trainer to do what you want.  Like what?  Days off from scheduled sessions for no good reason but a whim, or desire for some self-indulgence.  Fewer reps.  Skip some exercises you don’t like.  The trainer will have none of this.  You don’t control the trainer.  You can leave, quit, but not control.  God, Power, is like the trainer.  Many people believe in God, but their problem is that they cannot get God, Power to do what they want.  For many people, spiritual growth is not about belief issues.  It is about not wanting to put in the work.
