Simply, by taking ownership of what has happened.  If you don't do this, your heart will become corrupt with resentment, and that will damage your mind, body and spirit.  

Getting older is something that is part of every life.  How we deal with mid-life and senior-life is a big deal.  Using God as our anchor is the key to understanding and responding to life stages.  He is right there with you, every day.

It's okay to be sad.  That's part of the healing process when something in life goes wrong.  Let God help you with the process of working through and healing.  He is the way.

Denial, depression, anger and finally acceptance.  Yeah, it's a process that must play out.  With God by your side, it's a journey is still painful, but with a much better end result.  

We all have a lapse in character, making a bad decision or not responding when we should have.  God can help you get back on track when it's time to make a decision.  

Drop your guard and get ready to understand that you WILL make mistakes.  But that's okay.  We all do.  Step two.  Sit down and have a conversation with God to get you back on track.  

Taking ownership of success and failure is the first step in connecting to God.  We're not perfect.  We never will be.  But God understands that life is learning, and learning is important to stay on the right path.

A relationship is built on time spent together.  And that's the same with God.  He has a plan for your life, but if you don't spend time with Him, you will never know or understand how to get there.

Step one: Drop the attitude and start listening to what God has in store for your life.  As the sun rises on each day, it's another opportunity to learn about life.  Take some time to talk to God.

Maturity is growing your accountability in Christ.  Will you ever achieve perfection in life? That's not the point.  Maturity is learning how to listen and respond to God.
