the battle within determines the battle without and when i conquer my demons i pause to reflect………my greatest victories are within myself…….

sad to say but i often forget others may pose problems but they are rarely a threat………the one i have to be aware of is within myself……….

there is no good side nor bad side rather a muted combination where the two are in constant competition to see who will win out……….the good is compassionate and perhaps naive and the rogue is demanding and self centered…………so together we have banana pudding with splinters and they are always getting hung in my teeth…….like disrespectful words…………………

and example of how convoluted my thinking can be : i could be walking in the woods on a beautiful day admiring Gods’ handiwork and out of nowhere i am concerned about something that concerns me and i am not sure it will even transpire……….imagined chaos….

i have to stop and center myself as to where i am and that God will guide me along as i go……..no big deal……but i can make it one

my greatest victories will always be the battles i win with myself……………raise the white flag
