FRIDAY MORNING GREETING WORKING OUT OF PRESSURE/TEMPTATION Good morning Fam. You dont get away from temptation and/or pressure, just like that. You work out of it. Abstinence is not a free lunch. If you select it on your menu, you have to pay for it. To pay for it, you have to work, smart and hard. For the past four days, we covered the smart side of that work: conscience, principles, character, ethics. They help you think your way out of it. But abstinence involves and imposes on you some challenging TASKS: self-denial, self-control, self-restraint. To carry them, you need strength. Spiritual and mental strength. You have to work hard to build and sustain your strength, through prayers and meditation, constantly. Like for dieting or exercising, it is: NO PAIN, NO GAIN. You have to give up short term pleasure for long term wealth. Remember: JOY COMES IN THE MORNING. Have a blessed weekend!
