Many of us are being attacked by pirates and hijackers on a daily basis! They are subtle and cunning. They rob us of our focus in our freedom and our potential. We end up living in perpetual self sabotage and slavery because of pirates that masquerade as food, entertainment and efficiency. The most dangerous hijackers are little indulgences. “The foolish man thinks that little faults, little indulgences, little sins, or of no consequence; he persuades himself that so long as he does not commit flagrant immoralities he is virtuous, and even Holy; but he is there by deprived of virtue and holiness, in the world knows him accordingly; it does not reference, adore, and love him; it passes him by; he is reckoned of no account; his influence is destroyed. The efforts of such a man to make the world virtuous, his exhortations to his fellow men to abandon their great vices, or empty of substance in barren of fruitage. The insignificance which he attaches to his small vices permeates his whole character and is the measure of his manhood: he is regarded as an insignificant Man. The levity with which he commits his errors and publishes his weakness comes back to him in the form of neglect and loss of influence and respect: he has not sought after, for who will seek to be taught of folly? His work does not prosper, for who will lean upon a reed? His words fall upon deaf ears, for they are void of practice, wisdom, experience, and who will go after an echo?“ James Allen --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gregory-denning/message
