Pause for Thought

Pause for Thought

From Father Brian D鈥橝rcy a Catholic Passionist priest:

I have a disturbing fault to confess Richard. I allow myself to be paralysed by the magnitude of problems I have to face far too easily. Because I can鈥檛 make a significant contribution, I wrongly decide to do nothing. I now see that I should do what I can anyway - even when I can鈥檛 do everything. Little things do mean a lot. In the Bible the widow鈥檚 mite is more pleasing than the rich man鈥檚 fortune.

I鈥檝e decided to make a major adjustment to how I live and act. It began when I gave myself permission to change my mind about problems and indeed people.

To change is to grow; to be perfect is to change often. To be willing to change is to acknowledge I鈥檓 not perfect - that I鈥檓 still a work in progress.聽 Put bluntly: Change your mind and you can change your life.

Look at it this way: If I keep on doing the same things in the same way, I should not be surprised to get the same results. When I look at life differently the possibilities are endless.

I become strong only when I embrace my weaknesses; I cannot be a teacher unless I can be taught; Wisdom comes when I learn from my foolishness; I laugh longer and louder when I learn to laugh at myself.

So change your mind about that person who irritates you, or the Family member who has let you down. Just for a moment see life as they see it; try to understand what life has done to them.

In the same way that physical exercise is essential for a healthy body, the challenge to change keeps our brains, our spirits and our emotions healthy. You see how to change when you change the way you see.

What I am is God鈥檚 gift to me; what I become is my gift to God. And it all begins with a simple decision 鈥� be humble enough to change.
