So often we get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life and we don't stop to reflect and see how our actions are affecting us and others around us. We blame everyone else for all the wrong that's going on around us without taking a good introspective look at the one person we can change in our lives.
This is my lesson in life, I think. God's constantly reminding me that I am the one who needs to change. So then, I go through a period of transformation, reflecting, and making the necessary changes until all of a sudden I find myself wrapped up in it all again. It's during these times that I forget to sit back and reflect. These times when instead of going home and taking the hour to sort out your thoughts, instead you phone a friend and say, I'm having a bad day, I need to go do something fun. Avoiding the issue all together, and then when we come to depend on those friends to make us 'feel' good, we end up being these irritating people who are SO self absorbed that we are somehow unable to see our part in ALL of it.
Maybe it's not everyone and maybe it's just me, but I think when we stop reflecting on our day to day actions, on how we treat people, on our circumstances, our dreams etc... when we stop doing that, and stop trusting that God will provide and start feeling sorry for ourselves, this is when we commit the greatest failure in life. We should never stop trying to improve, never stop trusting, and most of all never think you can change anyone else, but yourself.
