What region do you live in?

Each area of the country has its own beauties and its own dangers to beware of. (I know you’re not supposed to end the sentence with a preposition…)

I live in tornado region. Then there’s …

Hurricane region

Tidal wave area

Blizzard arenas

Arid deserts

There’s crocodiles, snakes, scorpions, bears, heavy rains, avalanches, fog etc.

Mom said when she lived in Arizona, she learned to shake her shoes out every morning in case a scorpion crawled in overnight. A friend said where she lived she had to shake out her towels in case a certain type spider came to rest.

Each of us are prone to various thought regions and all the good and bad that come with them.

Some of our personal thought regions (personalities) are more prone to self-doubt, or frenzy-fits, or we fall for self-pity or control. Some battle with insecurity (this was me big time).

If we know what our (personality) thought regions are, we can be on the look out, flee and take cover from these thought dangers.

We have to be on guard against our own thoughts….guard ourselves, because no one else really knows what’s going on inside of us.

Thank God we’ve been given control over our own self. That’s a battle right there.

No need to live in fear–enjoy your region, just know your thoughts. Learn your region and its potential dangers and avert them, take cover before they become dangerous to you.

Let’s see…in my thought region worry seems to be my bad weather to guard against.

What is yours? Does fear try to sneak in? Does anger growl its teeth at you? Is a critical attitude hissing your way?

Take time each day to study where you live and how to protect yourself from the dangers in your thought region.
