Overcoming Ourselves

The hardest thing to overcome seems to be our own bad self talk that imprisons us inside a nice little safe box (or comfort zone). But is that safe box really safe? The answer is no.

At church on Sunday I believe Fred talked about not putting new wine into an old wine skin. When many of us do mental work to improve ourselves that's exactly what we are doing. We are trying to put a new 'us' into an old box. We will snap right back every time (sort of like a diet and gaining the weight back). The unfortunate truth is - you have to identify to old way first, (which can be very painful for some of us), than determine what needs to change (which can be totally frightening), and finally - DO IT.

The problem is that many of us just don't want to - we have lulled ourselves into believing that it's safe.

So let me ask this? Are you totally happy? If you're not than the 'box' you've built yourself is NOT a safe place.

Maybe it's time for all of us to make a new wine skin?

Blessings to You,
