Addiction Kills

We live on a planet full of temptations, danger, obstructions and challenges.

Unfortunately, nobody drills this home to us while we're growing up.

How many times have we heard about drug overdoses, alcoholism, pornography and the harm they do?

And how many of us still prefer to ignore these warnings?   

Why is that?  Human nature I suppose but human nature is one of our problems if we keep giving in to it.

When you are strung out, hung over or can't tear yourself away from pornography, it's going to be impossible to get a handle on wanting to do anything worthwhile with your life.

Addiction kills, both spiritually and physically.

We all have free will to make our own choices.  Nobody tells us what to do unless we join the military or wind up in prison.

But I can guarantee you this, if you don't stop your bad habits, you will never really come to know just who you really are in life let alone surviving your journey. 

Some of you will shrug this blog post off because you really don't give a sh*t, so far gone that nothing will bring you back.

But some of you will take to heart what I'm saying because you know I'm talking to You.   

Please, don't be a statistic.  Liberate Yourself.

Life Can Be a Bummer

Frustration is one of those emotions that enters everyone's life at one ime or another.  Frustration, if handled in the right way, can be beneficial but, if left unchecked, can be harmful.

Today, is one of those days for me.  Everything proceeding as normal and then, out of the blue, frustration enters the picture.

Parents handle their child's frustration either by giving in to them (candy, or something else to shut them up) or actually help them get through their frustration by talking softly, not giving in to their demands, teaching them that it's okay to want something and not get it but it's not okay to have a temper tantrum over it.

Many adults have grown up with not knowing how to handle frustration. They continue to experience it and try dealing with it through unhealthy measures.  And many don't care if their frustration ruins their lives or somebody else's. 

We will not get very far in life if we allow annoyances to continue to rule us.  We must, at some time, acknowledge we need to gain control over our situation.  If not, frustration will continue to wreak havoc on us and others. 

Today, take time out and determine if this is you.

Blessings,
