personal growth – Removing Barriers Releasing Potential

There are five steps or principles that we should be aware of and which affect and effect the way in which we see ourselves and how other see or perceive us:

Principle 1 ~ Mirror (1 Samuel 25: 1-42)

The first person we should examine is ourselves before we look at others.

Coping with difficult people is hard ~ how do you, cope with yourself.

We see people as they are ~ but as we are!

Through a lens we see others like we like to see others.

Destination & destiny ~ people keep moving, as they believe the next move (destination or destiny) will be the final move!

If you can’t fix problems where you are ~ you can’t fix someone else’s!

What do you do if you see someone you did not want to see?

Big issue ~ if you cannot get along with you, you will not get along with others.

Examine yourself.

How well do you know you?

How much to you like/love yourself. (James 2:8)

What do you see in the mirror ~ does it reflect Christ likeness, if not what steps are you going to take to improve you?

The test of three!

From time to time most of us get caught up with gossip and rumours

Why do people get involved in gossip and rumours?

People get involved in gossip and rumours for many reasons perhaps such as to feel superior, for attention, out of envy and out of anger or unhappiness.

Why? Some people like to feel superior or want to be noticed generally don’t feel good about themselves and feel better when they put others down. In other words their self-esteem is low and by getting involved in worthless conversations they feel they have a place or position with others. However they also do it for attention because they will for a short time be the centre of attention. Furthermore they may do it out of anger or because they are unhappy, they might feel a sense of power out of seeing others suffer. That is why people get involved in gossip, rumours and slander.
