Conscience, pride and backsliding

Conscience 
On this journey to feeling great, it is important to become sensitive to the still, small voice of your conscience. Your conscience may suggest, it is better to leave some things unsaid. It may tell you that you have hurt someone's feelings. This inner voice has been given to you by God to help direct your moral behaviour. Your conscience helps you determine right from wrong. It tells you to forgive others and to ask for forgiveness yourself. 


Pride
It's a thinking process clouded by self-centeredness. Pride in self-sufficiency undermines faith by giving us the reason why we do not need our Creator by our side and can live apart from Him. Pride does a lot of damage to us but we do not seem to know and understand. Pride blocks the ability to truly elevate our lives and how arrogant we have become. It makes us judgemental and legalistic in our relationships with others. 

Meanwhile, in some cases, loneliness is the price of pride, because people usually do not like to be "around me" that will always be your complaint.
Pride is the only disease known to man that makes everyone sick except the one who has it.

Backsliding 
This simply means going the exact opposite direction from where you want to go. Sometimes the best intentions go away. Have you been deviating from the path you know you should be traveling? Have you been avoiding what you should be doing? Now, today is the day to resist the slippery slope and fight to gain and regain solid ground. Always ask it from our Creator to help you and give you firm footing and the ability to resist every backing step.

  5. So whoever you're, wherever you aree from, noo matter what your situation are.
    For instance, to repeat files to some subfolder of the user chosen directory, you'd probably enter
    $TARGETDIR$\subfolder on this field. This might be a goodd tricky task therefore
    oone has to get careful andd observant.

Things you should expect when you connect with your spot

Get out of the rat race. After all, if you win, you will simply be the big rat. Stop running in the competition. The only person you should compete with is yourself. "how well am I performing in my leadership spot," is what you should ask yourself. You have to know that the battery does not compete with a spark plug, because the battery knows the spark plug can never be a battery, and so on. They sit in the engine in their spots and serve the engine their gift without competing

Why does negative behaviour continue?

It works. There is some kind of payoff, some type of momentary satisfaction that is derived from not changing. The reward might be financial or psychological. Some people will continue unproductive behaviour to seek approval, acceptance, praise, or love. Others continue their unacceptable actions out of pride, greed or a sense of personal fulfilment. They may oppress others with their need to always be right because they treasure being right- even if it destroys a relationship.

Adding value to other people is the work of a positive influencer

As you move up to the higher levels of influence and become an active influencer, you can begin to have a positive influence on people and add value on their lives. That's true for any positive influencer. The baby-sitter who reads to the child encourages him to love books and helps him become a lifelong learner. The teacher who puts his faith, confidence, and love on a child helps the child to feel valued and good about herself. That boss who delegates to the employees and gives them authority as well as responsibility enlarges their horizons and empowers them to become better workers and people. Even the parents who know how to give their children grace and when to, also help them to stay open and communicative. All of these people add lasting value to the lives of other people. One thing is this, we don't know what kind of influence you have on others, today as you read this article. Your actions may touch the lives of thousands of people. Perhaps you use the opportunity
