Old Demons

As human beings, we carry a great deal of mental baggage. The memories of our past from early childhood up until our present lives. Our memories, to a great extend makes us who and what we are, both good and bad. Some memories hold us in status; create depression; disable us from moving forward in our lives; and cripple us from making positive mobility.

Then there are those among us that take those memories and use them to propel themselves to achieve goals. No matter what the memories are. We must learn to exercise these thoughts. I like to call them “Demons”. Much like the priests, in some of the horror films, who remove them from the bodies of the possessed. Our inter-demons can cause damage to our present relationships. Always believing or feeling that the past is with us in the present. We cannot blame current people or current circumstance for something that happened in the past, unless the mentality is the same. If that is the case, then the next question should be why are you attracting or entertaining the same drama...CONTINUOUSLY?

We must practice Positive Reinforcement. This means being around positive people, being in a positive environment, staying busy by doing things to better yourself and others, and having some faith and asking for guidance. These things will help defeat the demons and make for a better over all existence. Drugs and alcohol will only take the pain away temporarily.

Faith and persistence is the key. God Bless.
