Just Do One Thing

Real changes usually take place one small step at a time.  Most of us have two self-images; the idealized image of the person we want to be and the more realistic image of who we actually are.  For me, the purpose of my journey through life is to work at moving from the person I actual am to the person I want to be.  We all have things that we would like to change about ourselves; things that we can improve on, good habits we want to establish and bad habits we want to change; relationships we need to strengthen and relationships we may need to leave behind.    God has given each one us many gifts and talents according to his plan for us.  Do we recognize what we have been given, do we take the time to develop and share what he has given us.  Because of my sinful human nature I know,  that in my life time, I will  never truly be the person I want to be but each day by the choices and decisions I make and by the way I live my life I can begin the transformation from the person that I am to the person that I want to be.
