Temptations - have warning signs we must learn to interpret

02/13/2016

Everyone has one or more weaknesses they are unable to resist. The possibilities are endless: they enjoy drinking too much, or women, maligning others, wasting money buying useless things, wasting time when they should be working. Anyone who wants to conquer these weaknesses must watch for the tell-tale signs that temptation is on the way. They must question themselves to identify the times in the past when they succumbed. They will find that these signs are always the same and act as warnings. It may be a passing thought, a sensation in the solar plexus, an uneasy feeling, an image that comes to mind, and so on. There are always warning signs that temptation is near. They differ according to each person, so it is up to you to become aware of them. When you finally discover what they are, you will be able to master the situation, for when they appear you will know you have to be vigilant.
