Spiritual Growth<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People will surprise you if you give them a\u00a0chance. Some change, some do\u00a0not. Remember your first day at school? Did the people who impressed you then turn out to be the ones who would stick by you? Some people have the courage to change, and some do\u00a0not. Perhaps the best surprise is the moment you suddenly recognise your own worth, with all your strengths and weaknesses. Courage to change can seem an impossible goal but when the pain of not changing is intense, we find it easier to do. If we do\u00a0not change, we probably do\u00a0not grow, and our goal is spiritual growth. Am I\u00a0willing to pursue the goal of spiritual growth, through change?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I\u00a0plan ahead carefully for the future, I\u00a0may be setting myself up for a\u00a0lot of anxiety and disappointment. Life seldom goes according to plan. If my own planning is too rigid, I\u00a0will f ind myself distressed when things go wrong. Better to be flexible and to regard life\u2019s surprises as stimuli that serve to keep me on my toes. A\u00a0positive attitude that welcomes new challenges means that I\u00a0am more likely to produce a\u00a0good response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
