I Need to Keep My Mind Open to Change

     I need to walk a new path. The path that my mind needs to awaken from it's slumber. My mind is to resistant to change from the years of thinking the same way and doing the same things over again. I must learn to do things more differently. For example, if a person is kind to me, I must not view it as pity. I must not think that they are looking down on me. I must just thank them for their kindness and listen to any advice that they might have to offer. You might not mean to hurt other people's feelings but that is why you must keep your mind away from negative thinking and be open to making a change.
     If I become to rigid and inflexible, how can I be taught anything new? How can people get through to me and show me that there is another way to look at life. How can there be any mental growth if I ignore the help that people may want to give to me. I must not say to myself that I know everything because there are people who know a whole lot more than I do. I must be humble enough to accept their help if I need it. I must not think to myself that I need to stand alone and to be alone, when there are good people out there who can also sympathize with my situation. There are a lot of people in the world who are not out to get you. They are actually kind and caring. 
      Please God, let me not miss out on what life has to offer because I was to stubborn in my ways. Let me not misinterpret people's actions in a negative way. Help me to let down my guard just a little so as to invite good people into my life. I know even if I change a little it can greatly improve my life. Lord, help me to keep my mind open so I do not miss out on what is good for me. Help me even if I do not want any help for you know me better than I do. Lord, thank you in your name I pray, Amen.
