Changes

Attending the Mass yesterday uplifted my spirit. I am fully energized and ready to play in a chess tournament again. The priest reminded us that we, as followers of Jesus, should have important changes in our lives.

The first important change is to change the way you hear. You must not follow only your own voice but also the voice of others. Many failed in their lives because they didn't listened to others.

The second important change is to change the way you see. You must look not in the physical appearance of an individual but to his or her character. Look into the person's heart and mind and not to the person's actions. Challenges and problems are not made by God to down us but to teach us something, to test us and to remind us that He's there for us.

The third and last important change is to change our dreams. We should not dream only for ourselves but we must include others in our dreams. We failed in our dreams because God wants us to do something different. He wants us to have a much greater role in the community and in the lives of others.
