Changes

Change is hard.
How many times have you heard that in your life? How many times have you wrote it off?
I like to pretend that I do a pretty good job with change. Sometimes it's even true but no one's perfect and I'm no exception. Change can be difficult, the question is how do you react to it?

The simple answer is that you have two options, react positively or react negatively but we all know there's a lot more to it then that. Every situation is different and therefore every reaction is different. You can't analyze what situation you will encounter for the rest of your life and how you should react to each one. Life doesn't work that way. Don't give up yet though, that's not the end of this blog.

You may not be able to predict what kind of changes you'll face but what you can do is start working on your attitude now. Learn to not be afraid of change, don't hide from it or run away from it, don't try complaining about it, instead try remembering and implementing the serenity prayer once in a while.

Lord give me the strength to accept the things I cannot change, the courage the change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.

It sounds simple but it's not. It's a lot harder then you might think but it works and the secret isn't in the prayer itself guys, the secret is that very first word.

Whether it's changes or hurdles or whatever else life might throw at you rely on Him, he'll find a way to give you the strength, courage, wisdom or anything else you might need to get through that particular situation you're in right now or get into later.
