STOP AND THINK – People are anxious to improve their circumstances but are unwilling to improve themselves; they therefore remain bound. (James Allen, 19th-20th century writer)
When things are not going well, we usually want to see a change in our circumstances or environment—or maybe in the people around us. Rarely do we consider that the change may have to be within us. Perhaps we are the problem. It’s difficult to acknowledge that we may need to change, and it may be even harder to make the change, but we really need to do so.
And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 18:3)
