Three Areas of Life that Needs to be Changed

Almost every second change is always happening. These changes are difficult to predict. Because we can not change the prediction, then we must be prepared to deal with it. Our readiness to deal with changes determines our attitude in dealing with change. How to deal with it? There are three things we need to do, namely:
  1. Change the way we think. The first battle to cope with change is in our minds. We process all the changes in our minds. After we process it, then we will respond to such changes. Our responses vary according to what is in our minds. First, we were able to respond positively. Second, our response can also be negative. Third, our response can be optimistic. Fourth, our response can be pessimistic. In addition, we can also react with disappointment, anger, despair and so on. However, we can also address this by living the high motivation and keep fighting. Therefore, we need to prepare our minds properly. The Apostle Paul gives us guidance for how to prepare our minds properly. The Apostle Paul writes: "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is pleasant in the hearing, any virtue and any praise, think on these things "- Philippians 4:8. These things help us to respond to changes with confidence, strong confidence and courage to live, so that we can cope with change and win it.
  2.  Change our habits. Our habits of old, unproductive, that does not give any results for our lives, should we leave. The old ways that prevent us to change, must be removed from our lives. Furthermore, we must build a new attitude, new habits, creative and innovative ways. All these things will help us to get out of life. This way will make us uphill and successful career. If you managed to change the habits of the old and useless, I'm sure you will experience a happy, prosperous and fun.
  3. Change our spiritual lives. Somehow we need God in our lives. Perhaps you think that you can with your own strength to face and live. As a result you abstain from communion with God. You do not seriously follow God. You do not really build your spiritual life. But I want to say to you through this paper that you have to change your spiritual life. Draw near to God. Seek God and His righteousness, then you will find a way out of any trouble you. The Lord God will give you the wisdom to overcome the problems of your life. The requirement is that you should fix your relationship with God. You need to fellowship with God. Pray to Him, ask for guidance. Read His word because that is what will lead you on the right path. You are not late. It's time for you to act. God is always waiting for you to come to Him. He does not force you. God will forgive you somehow hurt him. He is a Father who loves you.
