How to Overcome Self-Destruction in life?

What are the 7 Self-Destruction in life?
1. Shame - Destroyer of Happiness
2. Uncontrolled thoughts
3. Compulsion - Inner drive, inner desire , lust & habits
4. Fear
5. Hopelessness - Keep you from moving on, discouragement in life, hopeless of finance & health.
6. Bitterness - Jealous, envy which can be a known as cancer into your life.
7.Insecurity - Cause you to do foolish thing.

How do we deal with Self-Destruction ? Read Romans 8. One of the best antidote. It taught us to develop 7 mental habits:

1. Remind myself daily for what Jesus did for me. Remind myself what is salvation mean to me as Holy Spirit has set me from shame.

2. Renewing your mind by giving access to the Holy Spirit.  Ask the holy spirit  to give you better thought which revolve around love and peace. There are two sets of mindset (Mindset of your nature vs Mindset of the Holy Spirit). If you choose the mindset of a sinful man, it bring you to self destruction. But, if you choose the mindset of the holy spirit it bring you happiness.   If you have something you can't resist it, find something to replace it.

3. Realised that you have the ability to say 'NO'. In Galatians 5:16 ( Don't let your sinful nature crave you).

4. Turn you thoughts to God whenever you are afraid. Stop focusing on your fear but start focusing on your heavenly Father.  2 Timothy 1:7 (For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.)

5. Focus on the long-term not the short term. Short term thinking bring failure to life but long term thinking is about eternity.

6.God is good and in control.  Everything in the world is broken, is suffering and is pain, is frustrated because sins broke it all down.  However, remember that the Holy Spirit always pray for us, He is using every good of you, He want you to succeed and He will give what you need.

7. Trust that God will never stop loving you. Remember you can lose everything in life, but don't lose your salvation.
