The 6 Destructive D's

Our lesson this last Sunday was wonderful. It was what I needed to hear and it helped me to reflect on my every day. It was given from a talk by Elder Kevin W. Pearson Of the Seventy entitled, "Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ".
In this talk he talks about the "6 Destructive D's—doubt, discouragement, distraction, lack of diligence, disobedience, and disbelief."
He says, "First is doubt. Doubt is not a principle of the gospel. It does not come from the Light of Christ or the influence of the Holy Ghost. Doubt is a negative emotion related to fear. It comes from a lack of confidence in one’s self or abilities. It is inconsistent with our divine identity as children of God.
Doubt leads to discouragement. Discouragement comes from missed expectations. Chronic discouragement leads to lower expectations, decreased effort, weakened desire, and greater difficulty feeling and following the Spirit (see Preach My Gospel [2004], 10). Discouragement and despair are the very antithesis of faith.
Discouragement leads to distraction, a lack of focus. Distraction eliminates the very focus the eye of faith requires. Discouragement and distraction are two of Satan’s most effective tools, but they are also bad habits.
Distraction leads to a lack of diligence, a reduced commitment to remain true and faithful and to carry on through despite hardship and disappointment. Disappointment is an inevitable part of life, but it need not lead to doubt, discouragement, distraction, or lack of diligence.
If not reversed, this path ultimately leads to disobedience, which undermines the very basis of faith. So often the result is disbelief, the conscious or unconscious refusal to believe.
The scriptures describe disbelief as the state of having chosen to harden one’s heart. It is to be past feeling."
Our teacher talked about how these are a cycle and if we do not stop the cycle it can keep going and going until we don't have any faith at all.
As I pondered this in class I realized that the cycle is a moment to moment thing for me. I can be having a great day and then something happens, maybe I start feeling a little sick, then I get scared that I'll have an attack (Doubt), then sometimes I get discouraged thinking I'm never going to get better, and on and on it goes. Then other times I can get distracted by something that is good but the best thing for me to be doing at that moment. It is only when I invite the spirit to come back into my life, my home, that I can get off the cycle of the Destructive D's. I found that it doesn't take a gigantic effort. It can be simple. The first thing of course it to realize that I'm on the cycle. Then there are some little things that I do. I turn on music quite often. Listening to the Hymns or other uplifting music can invite the spirit very quickly. Or I read a scripture or an uplifting quote from a Prophet or Apostle. Sometimes I even stop everything and read for a few minutes to get refocused. It is these little things through out the day that really help me back on the path of Faith. Which path are you on, the Destructive D's, or Faith?
