Following is an excerpt from my workbook “Breaking Through the Barriers”…

“People in the logging industry have developed the practice of floating their logs down a river or
stream. In this process, quite often several logs become jammed and it becomes difficult for them
to move along. Usually it is only one log causing the blockage, and should that one log be
removed or fixed in position, the others become dislodged and easier to float down stream—this
obstacle log is called the kingpin.”

Like logs floating downstream, we have several negative emotions counteracting each other,
causing restrictions, and giving us a difficult time. Some of these are hatred, unforgiveness, envy, low self-esteem, and discord. Yet there are many others.”

In our lives there is an emotion that troubles us most; maybe it is a fear of rejection, procrastination, loneliness, disappointment or failure. It may even be a belief, but whatever it is, it is the “kingpin” in our emotions, creating blockages in our lives and preventing us from enjoying happiness and fulfillment.

However, with divine help, we can deal with our negative “kingpin” thoughts, feelings and attitudes, and build new experiences for better living.

Think about this: Of the many negative emotions in your life, can you identify the kingpin?
