Lust for power, deep attachment to fame and riches, the passion and desire to be the most important, the most needed, the sought after and the most recognized and an oversized ego led to the self-destruction of countless heroes. The dark side is within us all.
Think about it. Not being still, not listening, not praying and always preoccupied of thinking about yourself will lead the dark side to control you.
Pride young one leads to jealousy, jealousy leads to anger, anger leads to suffering and suffering leads to hate. It is the most contagious and most common disease in humanity. People fall pray to its seductive ways and when engulfed, it will for ever lead your destiny. Do not despair. As human as we are there is always the seed of goodness which lays in every one of us. Goodness that grows when we resist our own dark side by knowing our weaknesses, our values, our principle, our strengths, our actions and our emotions hence, by knowing ourselves fully. Goodness that grows when we examine ourselves constantly in morning, noon and evening. Goodness that grows when we embrace God in our lives.
Defeat them!
Be still once in a while, look and listen to God’s presence in all things, correct the errors, give thanks and act in response to His love. Daily.
God loves you!
