We are finishing up our renew, resist, and retreat series. The last subject is retreat, I know many of us men were taught never to retreat, however, there are many things we should retreat from. One of these things is a negative outlook about yourself and negative self-talk.
Have you ever been around that guy who puts himself down or thinks he gets all the bad breaks? He’s that guy that says “I’ll never be….fill in the blank”, he’s the guy who says “can’t have nothing” and believes it. My southern friends will get the last one. I’ve been around some of these guys in my lifetime, some of them mask this with humor, trying to make you think they’re joking when they say these things but deep down they really mean what they’re saying about themselves. Perhaps you may be letting negative self-talk infiltrate your mind. If so, we need to Recognize the Problem.
