"Many times our shortcomings or fears outweigh the love and victory we have in our life..."

Have you ever really sat down and thought about how amazing and incredible you really are? I realize that many of us have our shortcomings and many times our shortcomings or fears outweigh the love and victory we have in our life. All too often, we tend to focus on the negative aspects of our life, rather than the positive. We find ourselves talking about how bad the weather or traffic is. We engage in gossip (even about people we love or serve). We focus on the one bad thing our child does, rather than the many great things he/she has accomplished (like waking up that morning)!
Why do we do this? Many times we are all products of our environment. Consciously or subconciously. This is fact unless we consciously make a decision to not allow the environment to affect us. Daily, we have to consciously interrupt the negativity in the environment. Negativity comes in all shapes and sizes. It can come from our family, the news, online, radio, magazines, our church, etc. Research has told us that we have been told “no” or we “can’t” do something over 100,000 times! Next time you watch TV, be aware of how many commercials are programming you that you have to take drugs in order to be healthy. There is at least one drug commercial for every commercial break on TV!
I use a great affirmation to help block the negativity in my environment. Feel free to steal it!
