Journey to Change

Aging does not mean you’re maturing, there’s a lot more to it. Your thought processes , reactions and entire life will reflect whether you’re maturing or simply getting older. Having an inner child and allowing out to come out on occasion is fine, but if you allow that inner child to perform in every aspect of your life… how do your finances look? Relationships? Are you thinking and acting as if you’re still a kid? Me, mine, I …

Have you ever experienced something that you never thought you’d make it past/through, but you prayed and God answered? Maybe not right away, but he’s never late, we’re just always in a hurry.

As adults we can be just as bad as little kids when it comes to staying focused. We let too many things get in the way of what matters. We ignore our kids, our spouse, ourselves, but most of all, our Creator.

We want everything in a hurry! Sometimes the good things can take time to work. We need to develop and learn then apply. Set your sights on the short term, and you can see long term success. I’m definitely a work in progress!!

When it comes to life and it’s trials, we can be like little kids afraid of the monsters under the bed. We try to run from ourselves (can’t haha!), run from problems, run from others. But until we decide to face things, they’ll follow us wherever we go. Especially if we do not do the inner work.

Thinking about my grandchildren, and what is out here in this evil world. I can do my best to protect them while I’m here, providing them with knowledge and guidance to face things. What are you doing to help others who may not know how to handle the mental/spiritual/emotional attacks in this life? How do you handle them?

What do you do when this happens? How do you allow it to affect you?

All my life it seems like I’ve always been trying to live up to a standard that, well, I’m still not l living up to. And by that I mean having a certain amount of money, or reaching a certain position in my career. But… is that what really makes you wealthy or successful? What’s valuable to you?

We all have a choice in what we do, how we do it. I’m thinking about how miserable I am after eating too much salsa chips and queso! I knew what I was doing and how I would feel, but I chose to do it anyway!

When you say something you regret, or you know you shouldn’t have said it, what do you do? Well, myself I think about it for too long! If you say one thing but your walk and talk reflect another, there’s still work to be done. Each day is another day to do something different and better when it comes to growth. Some days you just need to rest, then try again later.
