PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Each one of us is comprised of a positive and a negative side just like a battery. When we come into this world we are innocent to this new life.  As we grow, we absorb all the energies around us, both positive and negative.  Keep in mind that we have no control over the kind of home environment we grow up in.  Our home environments can be either very good or very bad, with all sorts of variations in-between.  How we are brought up plays a huge role in how we make choices later on in life.  We are like sponges, absorbing the good and wicked ways of man.  Then, as we reach the age of understanding, we find that there is a constant struggle going on in our minds.  We are constantly being confronted with choices, choices of how we should act, speak, and think at any given moment or situation.  It has always been easy to choose to be negative, and more of a challenge to be positive.  Our mind is indeed the battleground.  

      Therefore, we ought to be careful of what we put into our minds.  Always abstain from abusing alcohol and drugs.  Using these items will destroy your body, mind, and spirituality.  Be careful of the material that you read and the music that you listen to.  Be careful of the type of entertainment that you choose.  Choose your friends wisely, for you become like those you associate with.  There is a saying, “Garbage in, garbage out”!  “Goodness in, goodness out”!  Never, for any moment, ever think that all these things combined will not have an affect on you, because they will. All these things feed the mind.  Be it positive or negative, which ever side you feed the most will become your dominant side.  

      It’s not what one eats/drinks, nor is it the color cloths that one wears that make a person bad!  What makes a person malevolent is the conscious choice to always walk in darkness.  The bottom line is that life is about choices!   On the up-side, the more we seek out our own personal spirituality, the more able we become in good decision making.  Like a drowning man who is hanging onto a life-line, hang onto your spirituality, for this is what is going to pull you through into the next life. The battles in the mind never go away; they just become a little easier to overcome.  It is our Creator’s desire that we all become over-comers of darkness. He wants us to walk in the light just as He is in the light and is indeed, Light.
