- PEACE OF MIND COMES FROM CONCENTRATING ON WHAT YOU HAVE,NOT ON WHAT'S MISSING.
- When we forgive ourselves,stop criticising other people.
When you change...
Captain Gerald Coffee spent seven years as a prisoner of war(POW) in north Vietnam.Reflecting on changes i his attitude,he said:In the beginning,i would pray to god to change my situation -
"God give mi the last five minutes prior to my capture, and i'll fly somewhere else...God , please let Americans win and get me out of here."
"As time passed,"
he said,"my Prayers changes...i began to pray that i might become a better person, that i might not only endure but even benefit from my experience as a POW",
"His prayers of "change my circumstance" became "change me" ". He had discovered a fundamental principle, and from that point he began to see some purpose in his situation.
Whatever the situation we are in , we are in it because we have lessons to learn from it.That;s why we're there! Asking God to change our situation makes absolute no sense. Until we changed,we still need the situation...
