Negative obsession

"I want it and I want it now"

"If I don't have this, I would never be happy"

Have you ever been in a situation where you made the above statements or may be you were not saying them directly but your attitude displayed it. If your answer is yes then I would employ you to continue reading.

There is a thing line between having a healthy desire for something and having an unhealthy desire for it.

I don't know about you but one of the many things that my intuition calls my attention to is when I am beginning to have a very unhealthy obsession for something which is usually rooted in fear and competition. The thing may not necessarily be bad in itself, but whenever I am aware of an extraordinary desperation I have over acquiring something, I no I need to take a step back.

You also have that ability to know when the desires of your heart are pure and when it is becoming extreme.

Be it money, clothes, relationships, grades, food a dream, a goal and even a problem, whatever it may be you need to stop the negative obsession over the Idea of having it or solving it, in the case of problem

Do not let it control your whole life, dictating to you when and when not to be sad and happy, instead put in all the necessary work you have to, pray and trust God to bring it to you.
There is no need to hurt yourself or other people in a process of trying to attain something.

Believe God word that says "I would supply all of your needs according to my riches in glory".
If something has not come to yet, may be it is not the right timing. Continue to position yourself well for whenever it would show up, put your trust in God and put in the work in a balanced and healthy way.

Let me give you a funny, real life example for better understanding

There are times when we are desperately in search of something probably a car key, We searched everywhere for it but we just couldn't find it, yelled at everyone that stood in our way while we were looking for it but that didn't change nothing. We got mad at everyone around but the anger didn't bring whatever it is we were looking for back. However, the moment something else distracted our minds and made us forget about it and we became calm again, then like magic, like it was all planned out, we checked one or two places afterwards and we suddenly found it.

This experience and many other is a reminder that God desires the posture of a calm soul that trusts in him (Pslm 46:10)

WHENEVER YOU OBSESS OVER SOMETHING YOU REPEL IT

DO NOT HOLD BACK

In as much as I believe God places people in our lives by himself, I also believe there is a place of intentionality and effort when it comes to making friends and sustaining friendships and any other type of relationship (even the one we have with our parents) How many friends would you still have if you did not stop communicating? How many relationships have you lost today because you both decided to wake up one morning and act as if no one existed. How many friendships have been lost because of the refusal to say “hi”, “How are you doing” “longtime” “Congratulations” etc. How many destiny relationships would we have had if we communicated how much we admired a person or a person's gift rather than been a silent fan? How many sisters would we have if we took out a few minutes from our day to know why a person looked unhappy or why they were crying and then encourage them? How many more acquaintances would we have if we did not stop saying hi or good morning because we felt...

Friendships are gifts

Have you ever looked at a friend or even a family member of yours and be like, "thank God you are in my life" and the person feels the same way too. There is a way God brings people into our lives. Not all relationships happen by accident, some were arranged by God for specific purposes. He looked at us, he assessed our needs and then he placed people around us that would meet those specific needs. Appreciate someone y ou know is a blessing from God today. You didn't meet the people in your life by mistake and the people you would be meeting in the future would not be by mistake. Do not be quick to push people away because you feel they are not giving you the world definition of value like money, connections, etc. While all of those things are good and God also provides people in our life that can give them to us, your friends might be giving you peace, making you smile and laugh when you are sad, hearing you talk about stuff that makes you happy, supporti...

God type of love

The Word love is a very deep word. It means different things to different people. Here is my perspective on love... If there is one thing I know, it is everybody deserves to be loved regardless of their background, race, age qualifications etc. The man in the Palace need to be shown love as much as the man on the street. Don't Love people just because of the benefits that you can get from them alone. Even if they cannot offer you anything still love. In Love there is compassion, hope, patience, understanding, kindness, forgiveness, peace, no strife, no envy, no jealousy no competition but like Jesus, there is willingness to bear the burden of other people and share in their joy. For people in romantic relationships, love is not infatuation and lust, they are both self seeking but it is an intentional decision to choose someone regardless of the situation. Note that you don't have to be friends or close with someone to love them, as a matter of fact some people just call thems...
