Do you know that?
Two Secrets to be told!
1. You will always be tempted with that which you have decided not to do (that which you have opted out).
Have you been able to notice this point/secret? Once you have decided to stop doing anything that is the time that particular need or thing will be coming up to you and will be more interesting. Temptation! If you say for instance you want to stop smoking, that’s when the urge will be higher and your friends will be willing to buy cigarettes for you and more friends who smokes will be attracted to you and wanting to make friends with you. Remember, you have decided to quit.
The same thing applies to every other thing in life. Is it lying, fornicating, cheating, adultery, stealing, et cetera? Immediately you come up with the idea to stop or quit on something, the appetite increases. At this point in time, you need to be careful because you are going over to your next level of life if you overcome it! Your next level of encounter comes at the end of your victory; when you have overcome. Just remember that you have decided, with the idea to stop or quit this particular thing but not yet determined! Determination is a total surrender to remain unmovable or unshakable despite whatsoever; to remain focus on the vision!
Note: Once you have decided to quit, in same attitude and frequency, make up your mind. I mean be determined to quit… No matter how strong and attractive or appealing it may be, be determined within you to overcome. It won’t be easy I must say but by the Almighty grace, you will overcome and be victorious!
2. You will always be like the people or person who you follow and vice versa. What do I mean by that, we have friends and friends have us? We follow each other in what and any manner. There are the ones we follow openly. They know we are friends and some secretly without their notice.
Why? because we want to be like them? We admire their ability and capacity- I called them secret mentors! Whether good or bad… you know! They don’t know that they are mentoring someone. They are just unaware! Only the mentee is aware of such action. We read many books see many videos and listens to lots of audio clips and messages of some persons because we are inspired by them and want to be like them – I call it motivated to be like them!
Which one are you?
