The battle in your mind.

What could you let go of, for the sake of harmony?

Let go of people’s expectations so you can have harmony inside and out.

They say a little competition doesn’t hurt anyone; it’ll be fun, it’ll push people up.

They’re right – to some extent.

If you feel this endless desire to cast shade on someone else to lift yourself up, then you’re in trouble.

The best competition we win is not against someone else. We win best when we first win against the competition in our mind.

No wonder the Bible tells us in Romans 12:2, “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.”

What’s competing for your attention? Your life won’t change unless you change your thoughts first.

This, however, doesn’t apply to the identity that God gave you when He created you in your mother’s (whether biological or surrogate) womb.

No amount of therapy can change what God has designed for you when He first made you. Perhaps, in the midst of everything you’ve tried out there, His design is what you’ve been yearning for. Make a U-turn. He’s waiting.
