Old Post: To Gain Something You've Never Had...You Have to Do Something You've Never Done

Many of us have been in bad relationships. Whether it is with a significant other, a friend or a family member…we’ve all experienced a time where we were vulnerable and someone took that for granted.

…and then you meet someone who only wants to love you. So now what? I’ve been primed to a certain extent to expect the worst. Personally, my life motto has been “hope for the best but expect the worst”. This logic completely perfect for those who plan on being forever alone…but for those who choose not to be a wall flower, there is certainly a fallacy in this way of thinking.

So what do you do? God finally gives you everything that you’ve prayed about while your were in your worst and you’re not even emotionally prepared. Sometimes we think we are because we are so use to going through hell and high water, having to over analyze EVERYTHING, having to learn how to protect your heart. I mean you basically had to rebuild walls around the soft parts of your inner self so that you won’t be so susceptible to the darts and daggers that were constantly being thrown.

I believe that sometimes people are so use to seeing this world go downhill that they forget how fragile the heart and spirit is. So again, what do you do when you finally have something you’ve never been prepared to have?

You pray about it (we all need the strength)

You take a deep breathe.

And you take a chance.

Those who are worth changing for should have the option of experiencing someone who will give them a totally new beginning. Besides that, life is so much better when you think with a renewed mind! I think that it is completely crazy to expect this memorizing life while you remain a debby downer. So cheer up!! Smile, and expect greater. Expect positive things, learn from the mistakes and wrong choices, keep the lessons and dump the baggage.

Life begins with a renewed, made up mind.

Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is - his good, pleasing and perfect will.
