Do you need a break? From what?
Along our lives, we collect things in our soul and spirit that acts like a baggage that can really weigh us down. This things we collect when we interact with others. When they hurt us we may develop bitterness, anger and resentments.
Emotional burdens
Because of difficulties we face in our growing up, we develop negative emotions that affects how we see the world. We stop seeing life as gift from God and we forget about what God says about us but instead develop the habits of murmuring, jealous and self doubt. People become jealous when they see others possessing what they have always wanted to have but failed. This stirs the feeling of inadequacy within self and creates anger and bitterness for oneself that is presented in one’s soul as jealous.
people that has grown in poverty could have a distorted view about relationships. They are likely to see relationships and friendships in terms of material benefits and value people based on what they gain by relating to them. Such people can face danger of being corrupt, being dishonest and involve themselves in fraud, betray their friends to gain material possessions and any other evil to help them have control of wealth and material things. Such people can be mean and stingy because their bad experience with poverty causes them have a great fear for lack. Therefore they fear releasing anything they have possession of, they rarely give generously to others and will cheat if it can help them get money. They therefore, destroys relationships and connections that could have helped them attain great purpose in life because of greed which is often fueled by scarcity mindset that which directs people to amass for themselves as much resources as possible whenever such opportunities presents themselves. So if i have to break from something, it is fear that i will not have enough in future.
All this things are learnt as we grow up and as we interact with our social environment and learn from it. Our environment can teach us negative things that we don’t need, it can destroy the faith we have in ourselves, nurturing self doubt and pessimism. A child who is always criticized by adults will eventually grow in self doubt and may let opportunities that comes their way pass by because they are afraid of stepping into the world and take them. As a parent , you should be very careful about how you communicate with your children as it can determine who they become in the word. People that are criticized by their parents find it difficult to lead because they have low self esteem and lacks confidence.
Bad habits learned
Sometimes our social environment has taught us bad habits that limits what we could have become. For instance because of poor policies, dictatorship and retrogressive cultures in some parts of the world, people in this communities learns helplessness.This people will always expect somebody else to solve their problem and when they are not helped, all they do is complain and curse.
We have people that complains to government over issues they could find solutions because their socialization directed them to expect some other people from some other places to solve all their problems. Such societies are characterized by poor innovations, low quality of life, political manipulation, corruption and bribes, high late of employment, backwardness and alot of crime. When such people cannot find someone who can solve their problems, emotionally or economically, they vet their frustrations to other members of community by causing crime and terror.
Complains about government
In my community, the most common baggage people carry is complains and murmuring against the government. I have observed people complain about everything and they always have something negative thing to say against their government. But when you look at it carefully, you realize that they have a lot of capacity to solve the issues they are expecting the government to solve. For instance men fails to mentor their boys but complain about poor education. They complains about economy but they spend money on luxurious when they get money. They pay for expensive services far away from their residence which they could obtain cheaply in their locality
Am breaking out
If I have to break from something this week, am gonna break from complaining what life has not given me. I gonna break from doubting myself. I will break from self pity and worries. Everything negative my society has taught me, am leaving behind, to go for the life I have always wanted.
I will break from thinking negatives and start seeing only positives.
A lot of criticism in childhood causes fear of failure.
Am breaking from fear of failing. Am gonna take risks and invest big. Am gonna quit jobs that does not cause growth if I must.
Am gonna try something new and enter new relationships with abandon. I gonna stop hiding myself because of who is criticizing me. I will not hide my fear of relationship in saying I hate women because of that one selfish woman that hurt me neither will i say all men are dogs beacuse of one male in the universe that broke my heart.
I gonna break from chains of rejection and meet new wonderful people in the world. I won’t mind those that rejected or disliked me.
I will loose myself from chains of self pity, being reserved and extra cautious because of pains I have faced. Am becoming bold and daring and break those small chains of life that holds me down. After all, history is gone. What happened happened and will not allow it affect what should happen next.
Stop wasting time
It is pointless when one sinks into abyss of self pity and depression because of loosing a job yet some people discovered very successful businesses and great innovations only after abandoning jobs that were limiting them. People finds wonderful people after divorce or after rejection(though i don’t believe divorce is a good thing or even necessary in most of times).
The world does not revolve around your ex or your job, neither does it revolve around family members that hated and mistreated you. You cannot always feel small because of child abuses that happened 40 years ago. You can do better than that. The world you are living in is much great. Move out of your prisons and go into the world, It is wide and extensive. A person called job in the holy scriptures said that God extends the earth from the north. A psalmist said that the earth is LORD’S and the fullness there in. It does not belong to your former company or anyone who rejected you. It does not even belong to your creditors. Please break from your prisons. Personally none of issues that happened in my life will affect me in anything and prevent me from progressing to where am supposed to be. Not even the fear of unknown. It is written that God did not give us the spirit of bondage as to fear. His breath resides in us, He is limitless, so we better start believing that we are not limited by circumstances around our lives. so we better break our chains.
Yeah, am breaking from something .
