We have all been tempted one way or another, its not only on the sexual aspect that temptations are applicable, there is also temptation when it comes to finding money, there's temptation in seeking fame, temptation to food, there's temptation in a whole lot of areas in life, and seeing that its tempting not everyone would make the right choices, and they would have to deal with the result later on. Temptations are the desires to do something, something you crave for, mostly wrong though, in fact we aren't tempted by things that are right, temptations are mostly things which are bad in view.

Firstly, let's deal with the most common temptation, which you guessed right, the sexual temptation. Everyday and everywhere you see pretty ladies and handsome boys, your naughty mind could have wonder on to visualize how you wish he or she was yours, but then you are either already in a relationship with another or better still it isn't the right time for you to Start getting hooked up, just then you are stuck in between the choice to do your cravings and your rational mind telling you to overcome this feeling as its not a Paramount deed to accomplish. As a teenager you must agree that then the fight was huge on us, with hormones raging and ideas popping along side your crazy friends hailing you into doing something wrong. The fight is huge and if the reason to fight it isn't well explained and understood by the person, he or she would easily give in to the temptation.

I feel letting people be aware of the dangers attached to taking their actions would help in the prevention of such act, but who has ever listened, who would listen, people still would do what's in their mind to do and feel sorry later, only a very selected few who has a strong knowledge and have accepted to stay right would fight such temptation even though it won't be easy. Moreover its called temptation its never meant to be easy.

Growing up in the church one would think no temptation would come your way and should they come you can easily just wave it off, but this isn't the case, in fact it comes to you just the sane way it comes to everyone, men wouldn't leave you be because they have seen a Bible, especially when you're pretty and bodily gifted, they are ready to follow you up to your church and seat through the long sermon meanwhile they have an hidden agenda, its almost like when the temptation comes and we give in to it, we have shut all other senses of reasoning and just follow like zombies till after the act is done, although we must agree that it somewhat reduces if you are known to having a reputable lifestyle, some people won't bother trying you out, but yet some unbelievable human would. Lol.

It should be rational decision making preceding over our emotions at all times, all our numerous cravings should be reviewed first before actions are taken. Other form of temptation like the craving for material possession can often lead you to taking it the improper way, you so love the car, you are so tempted to hop in and drive but its not yours, what you do next would determine if you're giving way to your temptation or you can seek a more preferred alternative.

You so crave to eat while you know its way past bed time and you are only playing with adding up weight, you are tempted to go take a bite, but your rational mind would still insist that you let go and just sleep, you won't die and moreover you aren't truly hungry, you haven't just dealt with that habit. Even while you lie to sleep, it might take a while because temptations are stubborn, it would keep its whispers till it's certain there's no room for it anymore. Mind you its very possible to overcome temptations, you can deal with it, prepare your mind to be strict to instructions.

Temptation is known to always ask one question - can you wait for the right time? There is a time for everything. Some cravings aren't necessarily bad, now isn't just the right timing for it,so we must fight it out too. Same way in our mathematics we were thought that either plus multiplied with minus, or minus multiplied with plus would give us a minus as the result, similarly, if a good thing comes at a wrong time, or a bad thing comes at a right time, both result you wouldn't hope to experience, so let the good thing come at the right time, fight those unneeded temptation, you are more powerful, people in time past has fought and won, you can too. Overcome those temptation today,start by trying, say no first.
