I think it's about time I continue this...

Day 27: Defeating Temptation

Here are some statements that affected me as I read this chapter:

There is always a way out.
God will never give us challenges we cannot face and survive. Like what they say, when God closes a door, He opens a window. We can never get into something without finding a way out.

The more you fight a feeling, the more it consumes and controls you... The more you think about something, the stronger it takes hold of you.
I agree. If it's not a big deal, why take the effort of pondering about it? Why waste time worrying about it if you want it out of your head?

Ignoring a temptation is far more effective than fighting it.
Yeah, like when you want someone to leave you alone, but that someone still keeps on bothering you. Instead of always telling that someone to beat it and be angry at the same time, why not ignore him/her? After a while, he/she will stop bothering you.

Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts.
Enough said.
