Persuasion & Permission

The art of persuasion can change minds. Many of us believe that we cannot be led, but that isn't necessarily true. That assumption comes from the belief that the person that wants to guide is either on your side or less trained by observation or circumstance.

The best way to elude negative persuasion is to first be aware of your own position. There truly is strength in knowledge. Smother yourself in it because standing your ground may save your life one day. Knowing that is important because there is always someone who has experienced more than you. Some people are excellent at deception. It's sad, but some people do not use their brilliance for good.

There is nothing wrong with changing your mind, but make sure that is what's occurring. There are days when deceit is obvious; that's a blessing. There may also come a time when it is not and the only thing you have to rely on is how you feel. So pay attention to your God-given intuition. Remember, that persuasion is a mere hop, skip and a jump away from permission. Make sure you are only permitting goodness and love into your life.
