One of my goals is to stay positive as challenges come at me. One step closer to being more like God. I've learned that the way you act around everyone else affects them. If I'm not in a good mood and I throw negativity at people, it tends to set other people in a bad mood and vice versa. So now when i throw negativity around as a habit of nature, guilt always comes along. Guilt of displeasing God. I'm now more aware of what I do and say. Trying to make simple positive changes on people.
When I do something good, whether it's saying something nice to someone or doing something small. I tend to want other people to see me and I guess I look for a reward by impressing others. Today is Sunday and I learned that my goal shouldn't be impressing others. Pastor Russell gave the example of people who attend church, some who take time off their Friday to clean the bathrooms of the church. People don't see them clean the bathrooms, so who are they impressing? No one is watching, but God. I shouldn't have to do good things to impress other people, but God. My goal isn't to have a list of good things and put check marks on them once I complete them, my goal is simply to be more like Him.
