Time For All-Out War!

Somewhere long ago, a rumor got started and spread all over world that told us, as long as we live in this world, we have to suffer fear, failure and defeat. Here's what I think of that!

Some how or another, we have been presented with a bill of goods that just stinks like a skunk. The rumor says we have no chance to escape, and no hope to change course of our circumstances. This is a bunch of bull, but it's worked on a lot of people.

It is a shame that so many people are defeated; but, prosperity, health, success and victory are not blessings that are only available for a select few. These ideas were God's plan for all humanity. He never intended for any of us to live under beggarly elements of this world.

The Burning Question!

You see, there are two forces at work in this earth. One force brings about things that are good and wholesome, and other force brings about things that are bad and unwholesome. Obviously, everyone wants to be on good and wholesome side; why do we find ourselves on bad side so often?

There could be many reasons, but let me point out one that always seems to stick its ugly head up whenever it gets a chance. That is; when we try to create, or expect positive things to come when we are experiencing negative emotions.

Folks, it seldom works. Trying to create positive results using negative emotions is about as effective as a screen door on a submarine. If we recognize that this negative emotion condition is probably hindering us, then it's time to get over hump.

Negative emotions are subject to certain things. They are influenced by what we see, hear, and say. They are formed in our minds by words that we read, words that we hear, and words that we say.

By Hook Or Crook!

When you are experiencing a low; an anxiety or depression that is causing you worry, I can almost guarantee you that you are thinking about things, reading about things, or looking at things that are causing it.

Listen carefully: Circumstances don't cause worry! Many times circumstances were disastrous before you even found out about them. But, instant you found out about them, what happened? Worry!

You felt great just five minutes before you found out. The circumstances are not problem. I know you think they are, and that's exactly my point. "You are thinking they are."

You are forming thoughts and ideas in your mind to create an escape plan, in case your brain-child fails, to get yourself permanently out of mess you're thinking about.

Cut To The Quick!

The whole time you're forming this escape plan, you are focused on circumstances that are causing negative emotions, which are causing low. The biggest problem is not circumstances, it's negative emotions.

The conclusion of matter will be whatever it will be. The only thing negative emotions will do is make you lose your self-esteem and feel lower than a ditch digger. It will make you feel worse than a criminal. You will convince yourself there is no way out.

While they appear green during spring and summer, those vibrant fall colors are always present, just not seen by us. As bright green chlorophyll fades away for winter, autumn colored leaves are exposed, providing a beautiful gift to landscape.
