Temptation

In the world we live today temptation is all around us, it can come in the form of people places and things. Temptation challenges us to stay within our identity and pushes the morals, values, and beliefs of what we stand for. Temptation wants to create chaos and take us outside of our normal comfort life. Once we step outside our identity and give into temptation the reaction to that is usually anxiety and panic

 

People can be tempting because they can make us believe that the grass is always greener on the other side, or that what they have is better than what we have. Temptation of others can put us in a place of low self-worth and competition, and it is a never-ending negative cycle.

 

Places can be tempting because they could put us in positions where we cannot control our behavior or not make the best choice to stay true to our identity. In the world we live today there are endless amounts of places that will reinforce negative behavior patterns.

 

Temptation can even come in the form of freedom. We all want the freedom to have what we want when we want it but that may or may not be the healthiest choice for us at that time. Once we justify that we can have that temptation with no accountability we may not be able to control our off switch which in turn can lead to unhealthy patterns of behavior that can affect our purpose and the way we relationship with others.
