If you truly want to enjoyrepparttar abundant and prosperous Christian life you must embrace change. Life is all about change and there is no escaping it.

Who wants to experience a life without a challenge anyway? Be honest. How bored would you be with nothing to strive toward? For me personally, I love change. I get bored easily withrepparttar 123038 same ole, same ole. Lord, give me something new!

I believe people arerepparttar 123039 most happy when they are working toward a goal. That’s why it is said that success is not a destination to be reached. Success isrepparttar 123040 journey! And alongrepparttar 123041 journey there will be change.

God wants you to prosper! But you will not prosper sitting around fearingrepparttar 123042 inevitable, which is “change.” It’s coming. Don’t wait for it! Go after it before it comes after you! Be ahead ofrepparttar 123043 curve instead of behind it. Seek change, expect it, prepare for it and prosper.

Kokoro no Kaze: Does Your Soul Have a Cold?

Written by Maya Talisman Frost


Continued from page 1

Preventing suicide? Good. Taking drugs for mild depression? Not always so good.

Does life in "advanced" countries like Japan create stress, frustration and sadness? You bet. Should a culture be treated, en masse, by drugs? I have to question that.

The me-too mentality is all too prevalent in a nation that prides itself on this phrase: "The nail that sticks up gets hammered down." I hate to think of millions of Japanese taking drugs in order to deal withrepparttar expectations of their culture. I hate to think of ANYONE taking drugs for that reason. And yet, it's becoming a remarkably common practice aroundrepparttar 123037 world.

Our folk wisdom tells us, "Feed a cold, starve a fever." Traditional remedies may help a cold ofrepparttar 123038 soul as well. We don't run torepparttar 123039 clinic every time we develop an itchy throat. We drink tea, take vitamins, get plenty of rest--in other words, we take care of ourselves.

Shouldn't we try boosting our soul's immune system first before choosing a pharmaceutical solution?

Recognizing sadness or dissatisfaction is positive. Dealing withrepparttar 123040 pieces of your life that aren't fitting together is powerful and rewarding. Making decisions to improve your relationships or circumstances is empowering. Understanding our role as growing, changing humans and applying mindfulness to our greatest challenges strengthens and elevates us.

It feeds our soul.

Is it easy? No. Is it healthy? Yes. And letting our loved ones know of our struggle and our optimistic determination to work through it?

Priceless.

Face mask, anyone?
