People Can Change Our Lives
As I sat in my room on a rainy day I began to analyze the concepts of life. I thought to myself that the life I am living I don’t want to live it for the rest of my life. I wanted a change; I no longer wanted to party, drink, or associate with the wrong crowd anymore. I wanted to feel a newness of life. As if I was buying my first brand new car and had the opportunity to pull my own tag off of it. People can have a great influence on others lives; it is up to that individual whether to let it be a good or bad influence. I choose to let my influence be great.
Two lonely years had passed by, that I had abandoned my best friend. Quite some time after that we would meet and discuss each other’s life, but after that we wouldn’t hear from each other until months later. One day I began to cry like a spanked baby as I sat there and realized that I was not abandoning a good friend, but I also abandoning myself for the things he could have helped me with. I then realized that I had to rebuild our relationship.
We walked along the beach as the wind embraced my body. We began to discuss the matter and decide how we could help each other instead of tarring each apart. We had been apart for so long that when we would be to together he seemed so different. I was puzzled in the back of my head and keep wondering what it so different about him. So I said “Tim what is it so great about you now that I have never noticed before. He replied saying “I decided to give my life to Christ” since then he changed my life forever. Every moment we spent together I would observe him; until one day I said to myself I want to feel that experience just like him. If being with Christ could make someone feel so wonderful I wanted him too. So when I shared with him how watching him; inspired me to change my lifestyle he was astonished. Change helped me turn from my old ways and look forward to the things life had to offer.
Now I feel as if I have been reborn again. The ways I use to think and deal with life’s obstacles are from a different perspective now. I have been living for Christ for almost three years now, and it is great. I am very grateful for having someone to guide me in my troubled times. My change has made me into a greater woman today; I also know how to be a great mentor of those who need the same courage. The life you have started for yourself can be reversed. So when help is available received it and accept the change it brings in life.
Sometimes it takes the help of others to help people notice the opportunity the can have also. To change is to become transformed and converted. Until it becomes a heart’s desire it can only be fulfilled, when that individual really wants it for themselves. “Each problem has hidden in it an opportunity so powerful that it literally dwarfs the problem. The greatest success stories were created by people who recognized a problem and turned it into an opportunity.”
