[QUOTE="Ishmael, post: 64403, member: 532"] A very difficult constant that I deal with is retaining the positive state of mind towards God when live goes awry. It's not always sunshine and roses once you've dedicated your life to Christ, if anything from an objective standpoint even he says it gets worse. I have noticed that I myself WANT to maintain the negative emotions once I get past the initial reaction. The feedback loop is - for some reason - necessary and the echo chamber must get louder. Having a block between the loop and the reaction is the key. If I sit in my negativity I'm not only more inclined to bea negative person, but also justify bad behaviour or sin simply because I am [B][I]willingly[/I][/B] pushing God out of my mind. The more this goes on, the easier it is to continue. Feedback loops are destructive. [/QUOTE]
