Guess what? There are links like a steel chain that we shackle our destiny with.They are the patterns of behavior we have learned to avoid pain and get into pleasure. Not recommended patterns are smoking, vaping, drinking alcohol, cutting, shooting up, snorting, porn, verbal abuse, overeating, etc. Better and recommended are exercise, learning, teaching, yoga, Pilates, meditation, eating clean, helping others, etc. When you want to feel better what do you do? What could you do differently? What needs to go right now? I doubt that many of my readers suffer from the first list, but I wager they know someone who does. That list usually requires the help of others and a profound change in spirit to overcome the sickness of the mind, heart, body and soul. If you know someone like that pray for them, show them that there are places to go if they WANT the help. Most will not want it. And surprisingly, the persons that can help are those who have conquered the demons already.
