Demeanor

Napoleon Hill once said: "What the mind can conceive, the mind can achieve".  That is so true as shown below: 
  •  If we are afraid, then we won't move.
  • If we believe we are worthless, then we will be.
  • If we believe we are trapped, then we will never try anything different.
     
  • If we believe that our addiction is the only way to feel good about ourself, then that's what we'll do.

  • If we believe that everything we try will fail, then we won't put the effort in to succeed at anything.
  • If we believe that a cozy safe place in the darkness, hidden from everyone is the best place to be while trusting in our failing addiction, then that's where we'll stay.
Do you see the common theme?  It's all about OUR choices, not the choices of others.  Here's one more;
  • "If I choose to not listen to God's promptings, then I am selfish in my motives and will slowly block His voice out completely! 
But the fallacy remains that just because if I can't hear Him, then I won't be responsible for anything!!
Proverbs 6:14 “Anyone who withholds kindness from a friend, forsakes the fear of the Almighty".  The bible warns us about living selfishly.
