When Life Is Unfair Series
“Refocus”
Psalm 4:2 & 3
Psalm 4:2O men,how long shall my honor be turned into shame?How long will you love vain words and seek after lies?
Shame is the most powerful, master emotion. It's the fear that we're not good enough. -Brene Brown
Shame says:
Never good enough
Who do you think you are?
3 Things Shame needs to grow:
Secrecy
Silence
Judgment
How to Overcome Shame:
Talk to yourself like you’d talk to someone you love
Reach out to someone you trust
Tell your story
Psalm 4:3But know that the Lord has set apart the godly for Himself;the Lord hears when I call to Him.
“How to Deal with Unfairness” - Psychology Today
1 - Take a few deep breaths and ask yourself if it's worth the energy you're putting into it
2 - Be conscious of what you can and can't control
3 - Consciously monitor negative thoughts and emotions and turn them into positive actions
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." -Theodore Roosevelt
Psalm 4:2-3 ESV
