Have you been trying to create change in your life and nothing seems to be happening for you? Feel stuck? Well, you’re not alone.
However, you are also not really stuck. You may just be repeating the same error over and over and expecting a different result. This is especially so if you blame others for your condition.
Where are you? Sound familiar? That’s what GOD asked Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.
They first needed to locate (confess) where they were. They needed to hold themselves accountable. They had to locate where they erred. It was no surprise to God. God is everywhere, sees everything, and knows everything.
They needed to locate and confess their state of being. Then and only then could they implement effective changes in a new and better direction.
What about you? Do you think everyone else is blame for your situation? Perhaps there are other accomplices. However, you have the power to “change your mindset”.
You hold the steering wheel. Where are you headed?
Even if you are in a situation as a child or elder in need of help, you still get to participate. But are you getting in the way? Is your ego (need to control) blocking you from growing?
Advancing is also admitting when we need help. God is our primary helper. But God uses people to get the best outcome for you. If you’ve gotten this wrong in the past, you may need to trust God more.
If you’ve asked for help. That is very wise. Don’t interrupt God’s plan. Pray and trust God is doing a better job than what you would do using people you may not have selected for yourself.
Prayer is a very effective way to change. It’s doesn’t change God’s mind. It changes you.
Don’t blame God for your situation. You have freewill. God only wants to help you.
God wants you to be in a better place more than you do. Your personal development and achieving your highest good is God’s desire. However, most people self-sabotage.
They say they want to change. But their actions conflict with their statements.
Some people tell God who should help them. That may not be God's plan or person for you.
What do you REALLY want? Not sure?
Talk it out with someone who is willing to listen. Stop hiding. You are only confusing yourself.
Can’t find anyone who will listen? Write it down. Write a gentle compassionate letter to yourself.
Apologize to yourself. Apologize to yourself and anyone living or dead you want to reach but cannot.
You would be surprised how effective this is.
You don’t have to mail the letter but you can. Make sure it is a loving letter not filled with hate, blame and malice. They don’t have to respond.
You can even mail a love letter to yourself. You also have the option to burn the letter (safely) and let go of the ashes and issues it holds.
Once you’ve completed purging, write down your TRUE desire/goals. Write no more than ten items at a time. The shorter the list the better.
And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that reads it. Habakkuk 2:2
Look at the desired goal daily in the morning and before bedtime. Your desires and actions will begin to align. You will eventually stop wasting time, and engaging in behavior that distract from achieving your goals.
Cross items off your list as you accomplish them. Add any new items. Be patient.
Don't compare yourself to others. They may be doing something great, evil or nothing at all. But let them.
It takes at least 40 days to change a mindset. If you don’t see changes within yourself within 40 days (but you will), keep going.
You can use a positive affirmation of scripture that helps you align. Once selected, use the same one daily for that goal.
Some people have deeply rooted false beliefs about themselves and others. It took years to get there.
Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4
Give yourself the few weeks or months it takes to uproot the error and replace it with a new and better and true belief about who and where you want to be. You may surprise yourself.
God does not make mistakes. You are here for a reason. Bring out the best version of yourself.
Shalom. Shalom.

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:11-13
