This afternoon i was in one of my thinking moods and i got to thinking about all different sorts of addictions; good and bad. Then i was like wow if you really think about it we are all made up of addictions.
Your probably thinking "what is she talking about?! i dont have addictions". But im not just talking about the bad, dangerous, deadly addictions. im also talking about the good, helpful ones.
Addiction: an abnormally strong craving
Good addictions; family, love (agape), church, god, children, helping the helpless, friends (the ones who inspire you), husband/wife, praise and worship etc.
Bad addictions; drugs, alcohole, sex, swearing, friends (the ones who bring you down), parties, hating, unforgiveness, etc.
So we are all addicts in this world, its just the things that we CHOOSE to be addicted to that will define who we are and where our lives are heading. So its your choice, what will you choose; good or bad? will you choose the addictions that give you life or will you choose the addictions that control your life?
* dont get me wrong i havent even chosen which addictions i will continue to follow, im asking myself the same question that i just wrote down.
most people will think i am completely wrong. We usually relate the word addiction to bad things, but in this case im not.
