Tell of a time when you had your mind made up on something important and later changed your view?
What was it that convinced you to change your mind/heart/perspective?
I have always wanted to own a business but I never struck with long enough to see it through. I know this is God's plan for me; so this time I won't give up.
I grew from adolescence into manhood believing that being right was just about the most important thing in the world - I don't mean that I personally felt like I had to always come-out on top or win every debate, etc, but that being accurate about things was more important than just about anything.

I miss having my friends around and sharing so much though I do prefer the hermit here!
Have too many to speak of but I will say I think most of us do this ritually without thinking about it. It's all part of progressing through life and learning.

The most important thing you should consider over anything else is how you treat others. It's great to find God, but it's more important to just BE A GOOD PERSON. It's what everyone should strive for first. Not money. Not beauty. Not knowledge. At the end of the day, all you really have is what you...
