The seventh law of progression: Stronger The Spirit, Higher The Success
We notice this law in effect in Daniel 6:3. Daniel was considered a prime candidate for the position of a Prime Minister despite being a foreigner and a captive because an excellent spirit was in him. We’ve heard this oft-repeated phrase where there is a will there is a way. The word ‘will’ in this proverb denotes the spirit. With the right spirit or attitude, we will always find a way to progress. It is the quality and strength of this spirit that determines how much we progress.
Life is not always easy and the kind of circumstances we face tend to deflate our spirit. Our problems, deadlines and tragedies overwhelm us and sap the strength of our spirit. It helps, at times like these, to remember people like Nick Vujicic. Nick is an internationally sought after motivational speaker. He has the ability to leave his audience spellbound and speechless. What he doesn’t have are his arms and legs. He was born without them.
One can say that this would have given him a justifiable reason to wallow in self-pity. But not Nick. He can hop to wherever he chooses to go using his foot that grows at the bottom of his torso. He can type up to 43 words per minute using the two toes on that foot. He can keep himself afloat in pools, paddling with that foot. He can groom himself, write, and open doors with his mouth. His mission is to encourage people who want to quit. According to him, “Having no arms and legs has gotten me into some doors I would not have been able to walk through otherwise.”(Courtesy: Lori Baheda)
What is it that makes Nick different? It is the strength of his spirit. Instead of murmuring, he chose to be a blessing. Today, God is using him mightily across the globe as a blessing to millions of lives. Maybe your problems are bigger than Nick’s disabilities. Maybe they are not. But what you need to remember is that it is not your circumstances that determine your progress but the spirit with which you deal with them

Scripture
About this Plan
God's desire for His Children is for them to prosper,grow and make progress and not just exist and survive. However we notice that while few progress most barely get through. Is our God partial to bless only few? As we browse through the Bible we see several instances of God accomplishing extraordinary achievements through ordinary people. As we we study the lives of these individuals we recognise specific principles at work, these principles are the Laws of Progression which when practised will cause individuals to excel and not just exist.
