How having faith changed my outlook on life

Too many times in life, you see people just living life with no direction whatsoever.  That was me for far to long.  Sometimes in life, some people need to be pushed in the right direction.  I wish I would’ve told my younger self that but that’s okay.  At least now that i’m a parent, I know its something I can keep doing for my son.  As he continues to get older and learn, I feel it will guide him in the right direction in life.  Not everybody grew up in a positive environment.  So even if it’s just one time a week, going to church and hearing the words of God, hearing a positive outlook on life, can only do wonders for people struggling with mental health or development issues.  I know now that the only thing I can do is look & move forward.  Having a positive mindset, and wanting the actual best for others.  Just wanting to see my family grow and get better mentally and physically.  I trust that God will help healing and doing wonders all throughout the world.  I’m grateful to still be here breathing, given another opportunity to prosper.  Theres no way that I can look back now.  Can’t go back to a dark place, my family needs me to be the best version of myself.  I’m still not there yet but I’m willing to continuing to do the work and I look forward to the opportunity.  

For far to long, I was living a life a sin.  I was living a life where I had no direction whatsoever.  I had no purpose, I didn’t even know what to believe.   I was in a dark valley and at times it felt like there was no way out. That is no life to live and there is no way that I can continue those habits.  It all started with raising up my awareness and consciousness.

I knew I wanted better, I knew I had to be better, I just didn’t know how.  I learned how to control my emotions.  I learned how much discipline that I was actually capable of.  It all started by me being able to control my hunger.  I then realized if I can have discipline over this, then I can have discipline over anything.  

I learned how powerful words actually are.  Sometimes you need to rely on yourself instead of being dependent on others.  Tell yourself things like “I am capable”, “ I am Worthy” “I am confident in my abilities” “I am going to prosper” Repeating things like that daily, can only build you up.  But instead, we do the complete opposite most of the time.  I am guilty of this myself but having the awareness to hold myself accountable can make all the difference in the world.  Self-improvment is crucial, It’s what I needed to do to be the best person I can be for my family.

Taking full accountability for my actions,  there is nobody to blame but myself.  Doing small things like these can change your whole outlook on life.
