Beautiful Intelligence 5 MUST HAVE AUTHORS You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did. (James 2:22 NIV) Change it Your weight, health, job, marriage, relationships, business, if there is something that you do not like about you...change it. There will always be a reason or excuse as to why we can’t or won’t change something we don’t like about ourselves. We could be waiting on someone else to get right before we make a move or we could be waiting on all the tress to line up vertically on the opposite side of the street before we make any kinds of changes, however, change starts with us. “This is how I am.” “I have been like this all my life.” Just because we have been doing something or been a certain way our whole lives doesn’t make it the right thing to do or way to be. Change starts with us. We cannot change someone else. If we don’t like how much we weight, what is the first step we can take to loose weight? If the job we’re at is not fulfilling to us, what can we do to get us to the place that will allow us to do what we love to do? Many times we wait on others to do for us, what we can do for ourselves. As long as you allow yourself to keep complaining about where you are instead speaking and moving toward where you would like to be, nothing will change but the time and date.
