Life change

Life is something else. There are ups and downs, straight paths and those that curve. So many things has been going on in my life, when I really think about it I wonder how I got here. I believe we all have had that feeling before, one way or another. I have begun to understand that change will never happen until we change ourselves. I heard a saying in order to be something you've never been, you will have to do something you've never done". That is so true without that it's the same as insanity, doing the same thing over mad over again and expecting a different result. For some of us it takes longer than it should, because we feel untouchable. We feel like we are unstoppable that nothing can get in our way. When we get hit, when things start taking a nose dive,when the road stops and there is no where to turn, at that point can we call ourselves unstoppable? Where can our pride in our self centered thinking take us except into a state we call a "reality check". The bible says in Proverbs 16:18 that "Pride goes before destruction ,and a haughty spirit before a fall." As a people what we should learn is humility. Not too many people have it, and not too people want it. It takes a strong man or woman to bring themselves to be humble, that just shows the strength of the individual. It is not weakness but is the character of the wise. This will allow us to change, too much pride comes before destruction but with a humble spirit you can endure, you an strive through opposition and drive to the destination God has set before you John 10:10 "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."
