Changing my life but this means ditching some friends?

They cant understand why and there sad but there retards and immature and i need too change my life not get dragged down too their level.



Its better too be lonely than hang with bad people and not feel comfortable right?Changing my life but this means ditching some friends?
leave ur old bad friends and make new ones! :) hang out with ppl that are good influences. have fun. meet new people.



hope this helps!!!Changing my life but this means ditching some friends?
ur 1 bad dude

ditching ur friends?

keep them close also

make new friends

just dont stoop to ur friends levels

lonelyness isnt a great feeling btwChanging my life but this means ditching some friends?
youre absolutely right, and i wish i wouldve realized that sooner----in the end u got urself and if theyre not part of the solution they are part of the problemChanging my life but this means ditching some friends?
If you are trying to make a better life for yourself and move on then I agree that you need to ditch the friends. Some friends are only there for us when it is good for them and what we do when we are with them is ok for them but not for us. If you cant help your friends be better with you then offer to bring them along and if they don't want to then leave them. you will find friends who are there for you and who only want you to better yourself and others.Changing my life but this means ditching some friends?
its not bad dude i did it no shame cuz sum friends are a negative influence nah i don''t blame ya i ditched my loser idiots and now im pretty popular!Changing my life but this means ditching some friends?
in life you get treated the way you let people treat you. By changing the way you act and behave around them may end up being a positive influence on them too.

you will attract like minded people to you with your new way of thinking .. you wont be lonely longChanging my life but this means ditching some friends?
righttttttttttt as long as you will be happyChanging my life but this means ditching some friends?
maybe if you tell them how you feel, they may feel the same about you...i know your a guy and you dont like talking much, but maybe they would be alittle mature with you if you told them how you feel



P.S. your not a bad friendChanging my life but this means ditching some friends?
thats a good idea but dont ditch them completly just be friends that u just say hi to that way it wont seem so harsh

Does the eye color change naturally during people's life?

If yes how?Does the eye color change naturally during people%26039;s life?
yes... i know this from experience. my eyes have changed colors all my life about six or seven times per year. i have had all basic eye colors (brown, blue, green...). i also have two friends that change between two colors. also the rarest common eye color is green and he all time rarest is purple, only one in one hundred albinos have purple eyes. the most common is brown.Does the eye color change naturally during people%26039;s life?
Well, it's not really natural, but it can happen.

It may not change from brown to blue, but it may get lighter or darker and it's just because your eyes are changing as you get older.

    I think that no matter how much you want to change someone's personality when you date them it does not work! You shouldn't be with someone if they're a project to you, you have to learn to like people for who they are already. I also think that if they're once a cheater, they're always a cheater. They can try to change, but they wont.

    Cheers!!!!!What are a few things that you think are difficult to change , in people or in life?
    The only thing that I have ever been able to do to effect

    change in people or in life is to change myself. This I have done.

    I did not do this by myself since I didn't know how. I sought

    out people who knew of methods for self-work and went into

    an intense period of self reflection and self examination.

    Some of the things I learned and was able to implement

    in my life were as follows: (The terms here are my limited

    ability to verbalize ideas for which there are no words)

    1) What I call %26quot;I%26quot; does not exist. Instead there are many little

    I's running around in my head, each with their own agenda and

    often at odds with other I's in there with it.

    2) I found a way to work with those I's which made it possible

    for me to superimpose what might be called a managerial set

    of I's who could keep the unruly I's from making unreasonable

    demands and stirring up trouble.

    3) I discovered that I am not equipped to make people or life

    adhere to my wants and needs.

    4) I found that I had many wants and needs that I did not

    really have.

    5) I found that I was attached to the ideas and material things

    in life and that what I thought I owned actually owned me.

    6) I learned that I lied to myself a lot.

    7) I saw that I had a highly imaginary idea of myself and

    the world I lived in.

    8) The list goes on.

    What I was taught to do was to meditate, observe myself as

    objectively as I could and to learn to live in the moment,

    without deciding before hand what I wanted me to be

    when these were in place.

    This was all very helpful for me and I begin to notice that

    I was not acting or thinking or feeling in the same way I had

    over the years. I begin to feel at home when I was within

    myself. I was no longer under constant siege by those

    irrational thoughts that had to do with people and life. To put

    it simply, I became and remain to this day a man of peace.

    This work will continue on until I die or am unable to think

    anymore and I look forward to every day as if it were a

    new beginning. I have my ups and downs just like everyone

    else but I no longer Identify myself with them. They are

    the vagaries of life and who and what I am is no longer

    dependent upon their presence or absence to make me feel

    ok with myself. This is a highly abbreviated illustration of

    how I have answered this question for myself. In just a few

    sentences, I have tried to express what has taken almost 30

    years to actualize.

    One final point. I did this while conducting my ordinary life.

    No retreats. No monasteries. No isolated secret schools. It was

    pointed out to me early on that If I could do these things and

    realize peace and serenity while life and people did there

    chaotic dances around me then, I could do it anywhere.

    I hope this has helped. Something of this sort might work

    for you or it might not. Its just one man's account of what

    it was like, what happened and what its like now.

    Good luck to you.What are a few things that you think are difficult to change , in people or in life?

    a scorpion wanted to cross a river.so he asked a frog if he could ride across on his back.

    the frog said no..you will sting me and i will die.

    the scorpion said i wouldn't do that then we would both die

    so the frog agreed

    as they got half way across the scorpion stung the frog

    as they were both going under the frog asked..why?

    the scorpion said..because i am a scorpion...

    We have unprecedented access to information now than ever before.



    But that also has lead to an unprecedented loss of privacy.



    That would be my main pro and con.



    Also, I think advertising or TV shows has led to more aspiration. We want to have what we see the glamorous people on the TV or movies have. The pro is that a lot of us have become more affluent as a result. The con is that a lot of people have not and that there's been a rise in pollution and waste and exploitation from all the consumerism. It also leads to more depression, sometimes because our lives are not as fulfilled as what we see on TV, but because we see natural disasters or negative things on the news and feel sad and powerless about them.



    Other than material things though, it has also made people more aware of democracy or of the evils of racism etc. We have become better people and movements in other countries have come up that encourage their governments to be more democratic like what they're seeing not just through TV but the internet now.

    I devoted six years to carbon accounting, building models for the Australian government to estimate carbon emissions from land use change and forestry. When I started that job in 1999 the evidence that carbon emissions caused global warming seemed pretty conclusive, but since then new evidence has weakened that case. I am now skeptical.

    In the late 1990s, this was the evidence suggesting that carbon emissions caused global warming:

    1.Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, proved in a laboratory a century ago.

    2.Global warming has been occurring for a century and concentrations of atmospheric carbon have been rising for a century. Correlation is not causation, but in a rough sense it looked like a fit.

    3.Ice core data, starting with the first cores from Vostok in 1985, allowed us to measure temperature and atmospheric carbon going back hundreds of thousands of years, through several dramatic global warming and cooling events. To the temporal resolution then available (data points more than a thousand years apart), atmospheric carbon and temperature moved in lockstep: they rose and fell together. Talk about a smoking gun!

    4.There were no other credible causes of global warming.

    This evidence was not conclusive, but why wait until we are absolutely certain when we apparently need to act now? So the idea that carbon emissions were causing global warming passed from the scientific community into the political realm. Research increased, bureaucracies were formed, international committees met, and eventually the Kyoto protocol was signed in 1997 to curb carbon emissions.

    The political realm in turn fed money back into the scientific community. By the late 1990s, lots of jobs depended on the idea that carbon emissions caused global warming. Many of them were bureaucratic, but there were a lot of science jobs created too.

    I was on that gravy train, making a high wage in a science job that would not have existed if we didn't believe carbon emissions caused global warming. And so were lots of people around me; there were international conferences full of such people. We had political support, the ear of government, big budgets. We felt fairly important and useful (I did anyway). It was great. We were working to save the planet!

    But starting in about 2000, the last three of the four pieces of evidence above fell away. Using the same point numbers as above:

    2.Better data shows that from 1940 to 1975 the earth cooled while atmospheric carbon increased. That 35 year non-correlation might eventually be explained by global dimming, only discovered in about 2003.

    3.The temporal resolution of the ice core data improved. By 2004 we knew that in past warming events, the temperature increases generally started about 800 years before the rises in atmospheric carbon. Causality does not run in the direction I had assumed in 1999 ?it runs the opposite way!

    It took several hundred years of warming for the oceans to give off more of their carbon. This proves that there is a cause of global warming other than atmospheric carbon. And while it is possible that rising atmospheric carbon in these past warmings then went on to cause more warming (%26quot;amplification%26quot; of the initial warming), the ice core data neither proves nor disproves this hypothesis.

    4.There is now a credible alternative suspect. In October 2006 Henrik Svensmark showed experimentally that cosmic rays cause cloud formation. Clouds have a net cooling effect, but for the last three decades there have been fewer clouds than normal because the sun's magnetic field, which shields us from cosmic rays, has been stronger than usual. So the earth heated up. It's too early to judge what fraction of global warming is caused by cosmic rays.



    There is now no observational evidence that global warming is caused by carbon emissions. You would think that in over 20 years of intense investigation we would have found something. For example, greenhouse warming due to carbon emissions should warm the upper atmosphere faster than the lower atmosphere ?but until 2006 the data showed the opposite, and thus that the greenhouse effect was not occurring! In 2006 better data allowed that the effect might be occurring, except in the tropics.

    The only current %26quot;evidence%26quot; for blaming carbon emissions are scientific models (and the fact that there are few contradictory observations). Historically, science has not progressed by calculations and models, but by repeatable observations. Some theories held by science authorities have turned out to be spectacularly wrong: heavier-than-air flight is impossible, the sun orbits the earth, etc. For excellent reasons, we have much more confidence in observations by several independent parties than in models produced by a small set of related parties!

    Let's return to the interaction between science and politics. By 2000 the political system had responded to the strong scientific case that carbon emissions caused global warming by creating thousands of bureaucratic and science jobs aimed at more research and at curbing carbon emissions.

    But after 2000 the case against carbon emissions gradually got weaker. Future evidence might strengthen or further weaken it. At what stage of the weakening should the science community alert the political system that carbon emissions might not be the main cause of global warming?

    None of the new evidence actually says that carbon emissions are definitely not the cause of global warming, there are lots of good science jobs potentially at stake, and if the scientific message wavers then it might be difficult to later recapture the attention of the political system. What has happened is that most research efforts since 1990 have assumed that carbon emissions were the cause, and the alternatives get much less research or political attention.

    Unfortunately politics and science have become even more entangled. Climate change has become a partisan political issue, so positions become more entrenched. Politicians and the public prefer simple and less-nuanced messages. At the moment the political climate strongly blames carbon emissions, to the point of silencing critics.

    The integrity of the scientific community will win out in the end, following the evidence wherever it leads. But in the meantime, the effect of the political climate is that most people are overestimating the evidence that carbon emissions are the main cause of global warming.

    I recently bet $6,000 that the rate of global warming would slow in the next two decades. Carbon emissions might be the dominant cause of global warming, but I reckon that probability to be 20% rather than the 90% the IPCC estimates.

    I worry that politics could seriously distort the science. Suppose that carbon taxes are widely enacted, but that the rate of global warming increase starts to decline by 2015. The political system might pressure scientists to provide justifications for the taxes.

    Imagine the following scenario. Carbon emissions cause some warming, maybe 0.05C/decade. But the current warming rate of 0.20C/decade is mainly due to some natural cause, which in 15 years has run its course and reverses. So by 2025 global temperatures start dropping. In the meantime, on the basis of models from a small group of climate scientists but with no observational evidence (because the small warming due to carbon emissions is masked by the larger natural warming), the world has dutifully paid an enormous cost to curb carbon emissions.

    Politicians, expressing the anger and apparent futility of all the unnecessary poverty and effort, lead the lynching of the high priests with their opaque models. Ironically, because carbon emissions are raising the temperature baseline around which natural variability occurs, carbon emissions might need curbing after all. Maybe. The current situation is characterized by a lack of observational evidence, so no one knows yet.

    Some people take strong rhetorical positions on global warming. But the cause of global warming is not just another political issue, subject to endless debate and distortions. The cause of global warming is an issue that falls into the realm of science, because it is falsifiable. No amount of human posturing will affect what the cause is. It just physically is there, and after sufficient research and time we will know what it is.

    David Evans, a mathematician, and a computer and electrical engineer, is head of Science SpeakDo you people really beleive you can stop the world from changing?
    A VERY good question, the reason humans are going to destroy the world is because the size of our brains to our body size is massive. In the past, there never was a species as smart as us, or as violent. Humans have become the most aggressive creatures on the planet and have a ruthless need to go everywhere and anywhere. All we need to do is find a new way of propulsion that isn't going to annihilate earth for our children, we dont need to stop or make any epic changes.



    (my answer is the best because you can understand it and read it in one sitting too)Do you people really beleive you can stop the world from changing?
    Thank you John. You make an excellent point.



    With respect to Global Warming the only way that we can stop the component of Global Warming that is caused by carbon dioxide emissions is to stop all fossil fuel use worldwide.



    In a modern economy that is not realistic. More recycling, hybrid automobiles and turning out more lights will not cause a sufficient reduction in co2 output to stop the component of Global Warming that is caused by co2 emissions.



    For my friends in the environmental movement who think that is possible to stop co2 emissions, I challenge them to stop heating water and to bathe in cold water for a while.



    That usually brings them back to reality fairly quick.



    Yes, we must accept the fact that Global Warming and climate change is inevitable and we should be planning how to adapt to the changes rather than to continue to promote the fantasy that we can stop Global Warming and climate change.Do you people really beleive you can stop the world from changing?
    I don't believe I on my own can do much. But YES a collective effort can lessen the negative impacts of all these fossil fuel and toxic waste on our health. I dunno, I guess we will see in the end, won't we.Do you people really beleive you can stop the world from changing?
    The second part of your question%26quot;should we adapt%26quot; is the reasonable approach.

    I don't think there is anything wrong with reuse,recycle etc.

    If heating/cooling a home or driving a car for less and reducing pollution are the result of scientific study,who loses?

    Who wins this debate is not important at all.Do you people really beleive you can stop the world from changing?
    It's quite simple. We're not talking about freezing the planet in its current state for the next 6 million years. The evidence shows that humans are accelerating global warming, and we simply want to stop accelerating it before it does irreparable harm to all species adapted to the current climate. We want to let the Earth's climate change naturally without humans altering it siginificantly.Do you people really beleive you can stop the world from changing?
    People are fools and they are easily led.Do you people really beleive you can stop the world from changing?
    I do not think any reputable scientist is suggesting we can STOP the change. But we can SLOW the change. Slowing it will give us much needed time to prepare for the disasters that are coming.



    It is also clear that the population growth rate is so unfathomably quick, and the rise in producing global warming gasses is rising even faster than the population (due to increased wealth in what were the poorer nations like China and India) that there is a stunningly large amount we can do as a planet to either increase or decrease the rate of change.



    For all of the Earth's history, until about 10,000 years ago, the amount of change that any living creatures did to the ecosystem was negligible. In the last 100 years, the changes that humans have done have been enormous. And if we just go at whatever pace our personal wealth dictates (rather than acting with restraint for the benefit of the greater good) the next 100 years will show more than double the increases in changes and destruction to this Earth done by our existence here, than that of the last 100 years.Do you people really beleive you can stop the world from changing?
    nobody is trying to stop change, simply to let it happen naturally, at its own pace. the problem with people is that somehow, in our arrogance, we think we can improve on what took nature millions of years of trial and error to perfect. no matter what we think, we aren't that special! we need to take a deep breath and stop acting like locusts. the world did just fine without us for millions of years and since we went high tech it's going to hell in a handbasket - fast.

    there's nothing wrong with change and with adaptation to change. those are the tools that have always been used to improve pretty much everything in nature. what is wrong is that humans are always trying to direct and speed up the change. we took it in a few wrong directions and now, if we had any sense, we would back off, be as invisible as possible, and let things recover their balance their own way. we pushed the fast forward a few too many times, and the change is too fast. we may be able to buy enough time to adapt to it with our climate controled enclosures and sunscreen, and the rest of our high tech toys. but the rest of the planet's living things can't adjust that easily. and how long can our technology sustain us when they can no longer keep up? even if our technology can sustain us, do you like the idea of living your whole life in a star trek episode, getting your food from a synthesizer that can create an apple, but can't create the taste you crave, never being able to get any closer to a field of wild flowers than the holodeck? well i don't.

    the thing with locusts is they have a way of being gone and leaving nothing behind but death and devastation. i'd like to leave something better when i'm gone. i'd like to know that i gave something back when i had to take, and when i made a difference, it was for the better. so call me an alarmist if you will, because i think we're out of control. let me quote some (modified) Shakespeare at you, and then you can call me a nerdy alarmist: There are more things in Heaven and Earth than are dreamt of in your science.

    things that can't be measured or observed. things you can't even begin to comprehend or predict. and yet they are very real. we've been poking the bear for a while now. maybe it's time to back off before we get mauled.

    Keys is the ambassador for Keep A Child Alive, and has travelled to Africa to visit one of their clinics. While she was there she to teens and young adults who檝e lost their parents to AIDS and are now the heads of their own households.



    Keys was also the musical director for the 2006 Keep A Child Alive Charity Gala, and offered a private concert as a prize in an auction to benefit the charity.



    Alicia Keys expressed her gratitude for a gift of $170,000 given to her AIDS charity Keep A Child Alive (KCA) by the M路A路C AIDS Foundation, a division of the M路A路C cosmetics company that made the donation through its Kids Helping Kids campaign.



    Keys serves as the Global Ambassador for KCA, a non-profit organization that asks the public for a dollar a day to purchase AIDS drugs for families in Africa.



    Kids Helping Kids is an annual holiday card initiative of the M路A路C AIDS Fund, with 100 percent of sales going to support pediatric AIDS programs worldwide. The cards, featuring artwork designed by children aged five to 15 from Brooklyn public schools, were available at M路A路C stores and online. Many celebrities used the cards for their personal holiday greetings last year, with all of the proceeds going to pediatric AIDS organizations.



    %26quot;Thank you M路A路C AIDS Fund. This takes the healing power of art further to save lives. Thank you to Brooklyn public schools for supporting Keep A Child Alive,%26quot; said Keys.



    As more celebrities get involved in helping African nations overcome debt, AIDS and poverty, some cynics have questioned whether their motives are spurred by good intentions or publicity _ most notably, with Madonna's recent trip to Malawi to adopt a child.



    Alicia Keys, who is hosting her annual Black Ball charity concert in New York City on Thursday, says such criticism is unfair and a disservice to those in Africa who need help.







    This photo supplied by Keep A Child Alive shows Alicia Keys with children of the Agape orphanage in Durban, South Africa, in early summer 2006. Keep A Child Alive is constructing a building to house children who have lost all of their known relatives to AIDS. Keys, who is hosting her annual Black Ball concert Thursday,l Nov. 9, 2006, to benefit the charity, says criticism of celebrities involved in African causes is not only unfair, but does a disservice to those in Africa who need the help.(AP Photo/Keep A Child Alive) (AP)



    %26quot;I think that's horrible, and I think that really degrades and tries to discourage people who do have a voice, who do have power, who do have money, who do have the ability to reach out to people and get involved in situations,%26quot; the 25-year-old R%26amp;B singer told The Associated Press in a recent interview.



    %26quot;I think if you make a choice to do something positive, that shouldn't be diminished. I think that takes away from what's actually going on.%26quot;



    Keys, who has been involved in African causes for years, said celebrities have been in the forefront of charitable and political causes, and that's how it should be. She also said celebrities have helped direct attention to the problems in many African nations.



    %26quot;I do think that it has become more on people's radars, whereas before it kind of came across as, `Oh, it's so far away,'%26quot; she said. %26quot;It's really positive to know that it is a global community.%26quot;



    Keys is hosting the Black Ball concert with supermodel Iman to benefit Keep a Child Alive, which provides drugs for AIDS and HIV patients. The event will include performances by Keys; Iman's husband, David Bowie; Damian Marley; and Angelique Kidjo.



    Keys, who visited Africa earlier this year, said the problems that beset some countries can seem insurmountable, but she's seen how charity can save lives.



    %26quot;That's why when I speak and I use my voice, I like to emphasize the way that everyday people like you and me ... can really be a huge hero,%26quot; she said. %26quot;If you don't do anything else in your life, if you can save one life _ one life? It's amazing. Imagine saving 10 or 20 or 50 or 100.%26quot;How has Alicia Keys changed the life of people?
    Find out who her lovers were. It's be totally badass to say, %26quot;I've banged Alicia Keys,%26quot; and that's probably one good life changing experience.



    She's also probably somebody's favorite singer, which means something. There's gotta be chumps out there with all her records and whatnot - life changed.



    And, uh, she probably wasn't always surrounded by stars, so anybody related to her who has been able to make it better in life becuase of her fame and connection has also had his/her life changed.



    In conclusion, money, power, and fans result in changing lives and, um... interesting sex stories?How has Alicia Keys changed the life of people?
    she has did work in africa and supports the cause of finding a cure for aids.....also involved in a read a book program

    Did the life of ordinary people change much in England after Christianity supplanted paganism?

    Just curious.Did the life of ordinary people change much in England after Christianity supplanted paganism?
    Bang went the Sunday lie-in.Did the life of ordinary people change much in England after Christianity supplanted paganism?
    Yes they were enslaved by the church which ran the entire feudal system. The Roman Catholic Church ran the monarchies, and the Lords and Knights owned the serfs/slaves. Christianity is a slave religion, they get taught to never question their supposed authorities and be a good slave for their masters.Did the life of ordinary people change much in England after Christianity supplanted paganism?
    Yes, fear and uncertainty took hold and have been present ever since..Did the life of ordinary people change much in England after Christianity supplanted paganism?
    We did not supplant paganism. That is an overly-common misconception.Did the life of ordinary people change much in England after Christianity supplanted paganism?
    There was a vengeance culture with anglo-saxons and vikings that took several centuries to overcome. Someone would hurt someone in one's family and it was expected one would return the wound. So it was rather like an Aeschylus tragedy where one could end up dead for no fault of one's own.



    There were also more possibilities for education via the monastery system than before. Monasteries were popular then as society was very violent (feuding kings, vengeance conflicts). In a monastery one could live a peaceful life.Did the life of ordinary people change much in England after Christianity supplanted paganism?
    Why do people always think We Christians Supplant Paganism.



    Totally agree William I



    The Romans brought with them an Empire, Christianity is The Religion of the Empire. I am sure the Celts and Britons would be more worried about the battles they brought.



    The Celts kept the Romans at bay for ages and actually it was them that adapted this New Religion in to something called Celtic Christianity. There is still Celtic Crosses existing from that time.



    My personal opinion is it is like the CoE Reformation, many people date CoE as a Tudor invention but the Church of England actually existed at far back as 300's with English Bishops at the Council of Arles.



    CoE really means Ecclessia Anglican or English Church.



    Henry VIII brought about reformation with Thomas Cranmer, at the time the English Church was part of the Roman Church. As Henry dissolved the old monasteries and turned them in to great Anglican Cathedrals it was often the old Abbot of that order who would be the incumbent at the new establishment.



    I am pretty sure it would have been the same with the Invasion of the Roman Empire, remember they brought civilisation much of it remains today in the countries they successfully conquered and many pagans would have converted to the new structureDid the life of ordinary people change much in England after Christianity supplanted paganism?
    Your previous respondants have indicated that it was not an overnight change, but rather a slow process. So while of course the lives of everyday people did change a great deal as Christianity gradually infected all the more ancient traditions, it would be hard to say how much of the change was due to Christianity, and how much to technological developments in the meantime.Did the life of ordinary people change much in England after Christianity supplanted paganism?
    People's everyday lives were much more affected by the various invasions and settlements that occurred than by the conversions of various kings.



    Christianity didn't really take hold until after the Norman invasion although by this point the Anglo-saxon upper classes were already staunch Christians (the last pagan king in England besides the invading Danes had been King Penda of Mercia in the mid 600's) William built many churches up and down the country to help secure his new territory.



    Christianity really only became the religion of the everyman some 400 years later and even then many older practises still continued just without their original connotations.



    Interestingly the law in the UK only officially allowed for religions other than the CofE when the European Human Rights Act of 1998 came into force in 2001, prior to that religious freedom was simply assumed.

  • Has anyone recently had a life-changing encounter with Jesus?

    Has Jesus become more real to you and strengthened your faith?



    Atheists, I know you don't believe in God. A lot of people call God fictitious. I'm asking that those who believe share what they've discovered.Has anyone recently had a life-changing encounter with Jesus?
    When I was born, doctors told my mother to let me die. My mother didn't lesion to them and took my from Dallas to Georgia and from Georgia to Minnesota. It was there that one doctor was willing to try to save my life. I was needing a kidney transplant and it was there that I received one. I was 6 months old at that time. nobody had ever done a kidney transplant on one so small. I was the first.

    I had to have a second kidney transplant at the age of 30 months old and finley the last one was a kidney and liver transplant in 1996. along with a heart pacemaker.

    The same doctor did all the surgeries and if it weren't for him and God I would not be here today. I have been through much more than just that.

    But I thank God evey day for keeping my here. And God has used me to minster to many. I also sing in revivals with my mother and my father preaches.

    Has anyone recently had a life-changing encounter with Jesus?
    Yes...Christ has blessed us with a beautiful son (now 19 months) and another son due to be born in Jan 2009. Praise the Lord.Has anyone recently had a life-changing encounter with Jesus?
    Yes. In the Eucharist during adoration it was settled in my heart that I would live out my vocation in the Diaconate. It was the greatest and closest moment with Christ. He held me, with a love only my brother, my lord could.

    Peace to youHas anyone recently had a life-changing encounter with Jesus?
    He has saved me from many dangers.



    I believe in my faith strongly. Sometimes when among wrong doers it is tempting to say or do something, but I know Jesus guided my heart and my mind not to say anything, but to set a good example.Has anyone recently had a life-changing encounter with Jesus?
    stop giving in to the atheists they know there is a god .. or they do down down deep under all their justified sins ..stop listening to them for ten seconds ...yes I had a great morning the sun is up and warm and the lord and I were having a great morning together ..thanks for asking ..i don't believe him getting more real just the fact we are bound in our own stupidity ..some things fall away everntually and it seems like we had a breakthrough when all it was we just lost some hair ..or a scale or two ... He's not on again off again we are ..Has anyone recently had a life-changing encounter with Jesus?
    Does 3 years ago count as %26quot;recently?%26quot;

    Well, if it doesn't, sorry, but I'm gonna tell you anyway. lol.

    Anyway, about three years ago , I started having dreams. And they were very vivid dreams. I remember that the dreams were constant; whenever I dozed off a little bit, or when I fell asleep in the car or took a short nap, and when i got to sleep at night. The dreams were very realistic.

    The dreams started out with a feeling, I felt guilty, that I had done something wrong. I knew that other people had done whatever I had done wrong, with me, but I still felt guilty. The town where I was had a law that if someone did something against the law, they would drown them. So me, and the other people who did whatever we did wrong with me, were sentenced to be drowned. They were going to put us in a cage and lock the cage and then put the cage underwater. But then Jesus, just as I always imagined him, came and said “No! Let me be drown instead.” And I was so relieved that I wasn’t going to be drown, but I didn’t want Jesus to be drown. But if I said anything, they would drown me. So I didn’t say anything. Then I found out that Jesus had the key to the cage. And right there before my very eyes he got into the cage and the townspeople closed the cage door. I saw Jesus in the cage going down into the water and drowning.

    He had the key the whole time. He could’ve just unlocked the cage and said “I don’t want to do this anymore, let those people be drown.” But he didn’t. He gave up his life for ours. That is how I became a real Christian and began my relationship with God. Those dreams were definitely God-sent.

    I hope my testimony helps strengthen your faith as it did mine. :)

    Never forget to bury yourself in God's word! In Christ, mkthemk.Has anyone recently had a life-changing encounter with Jesus?
    A few years back, I had already accepted Christ into my heart and decided to do the water baptism done weekly by my church. I did not believe it was %26quot;required%26quot; to have Christ in oneself, but thought it a nice symbol and social event to share with others. As I walked to the water, I noticed it was the 1st time in my life that I had no concern of the temp. of the water. I experienced incredible joy while in the water !! Later, after I got home and was alone, I sat in a chair looking out the window and experienced the most incredible peace and euphoria for several hours. I did not expect or %26quot;wish%26quot; for this feeling, it was just there. I realized it was Christ and that He was there with me closer than ever before. It is not %26quot;when you seen Him you'll believe in Him%26quot;, it is rather, %26quot;when you believe in Him, you will see Him%26quot; What a great question, and thank you for this opportunity to share !! Has anyone recently had a life-changing encounter with Jesus?
    Yes; I did have a life-changing experience.



    I was raised as a Catholic, but by the time I was about 14 I started to have doubts about God. I had a lot of Atheists around me(including my dad) tell me that God didn't exist. I was actually starting to believe this.



    I wanted God to exist, though. I really did. God not existing would be like the worst possible thing for me because it would mean no paradise after death or no life.



    So, what I did was I asked God if he really did exist to show me a sign. About five minutes later, my brother came running into the room shouting %26quot;watch this!%26quot;. So I started watching it, and it was just the thing I needed to get my faith back. I saw a documentary of one mans %26quot;Near Death Experience.%26quot;. I don't know if you've heard of those or not.



    From that point on, my faith only got better and better. Now, a few years later, I'm a devout Catholic. I'm even thinking about joining a seminary after I graduate - which will be pretty soon. So, I guess that's my story.



    What I find interesting about it though is that many Atheists just give up on their faith right away when they get smart enough. None of them would have really wanted this to happen. It just goes to show you that if you truly want God, he'll find you.Has anyone recently had a life-changing encounter with Jesus?
    to tell you the truth it has become more real to me and strengthened my faith. It made me become more Atheist.Has anyone recently had a life-changing encounter with Jesus?
    Hi ! my partner and i take in mature foreign students two weeks ago we had an American girl 28 who was A,she went to church with my partner and was so moved that she discussed with us many aspects of Anglo catholicism, and then wanted to delve further into Christian beliefs. That to us was marvellous.Has anyone recently had a life-changing encounter with Jesus?
    i was lost. He sent a messenger. i'm changed, for eternity.

    No, I strayed away from God %26amp; religion. I am now too intelligent and highly educated to believe blindly in anything supernatural. I do believe that there is a good chance God exists.

    How did cars change the life for people in the 1920's?

    they could have another place to have sex.How did cars change the life for people in the 1920%26039;s?
    Cars changed the entire atmosphere of life in the 1920's, American life especially. It was a domino effect that boost all surrounding economies and help light the flame of the roaring twenties.



    The entire idea of what cars did is far too much to say, but good points to note are:



    Cars increased the production of roads, and offered an excess of jobs. The steel industry was greatly benefit by the onslaught of new business as well as rubber. In addition, people were able to disperse from the city and live with more space. The extra space implied a decrease in inner-city pollution and decease. People also could afford the extra capital on personal items.

    What are some songs about life changing?

    things have changed so much. people, friendships, me, my feelings about things....any song to describe it?

    like moving on from somethingWhat are some songs about life changing?
    It all depends on what type of music genre you're feeling, for instance if you like rap %26quot;Changes[]%26quot; by 2pac %26quot;Street Lights%26quot; by Kanye West %26quot;Dead and Gone%26quot; by T.I. ft. Justin Timberlake, and %26quot;Until The End Of Time%26quot; by 2pac, if you like rock %26quot;Shadow of the Day%26quot; by Linkin Park %26quot;Lying from You%26quot; by Linkin Park %26quot;Somewhere I Belong%26quot; by Linkin Park %26quot;Photograph%26quot; by Nikelback and %26quot;When I'm Gone%26quot; by 3 Doors Down. For R%26amp;B %26quot;U Got It Bad%26quot; by Usher, and %26quot;I Believe I Can Fly%26quot; by R.Kelly. For pop %26quot;Desperate%26quot; by David Archuleta and %26quot;Losing My Way%26quot; by Justin Timberlake. Just some music that comes to mind when one thinks about changes in life.

    My main goal in life is to help people. How can I make this world a better place?

    I've already decided I want to be a psychologist or a counselor. I think the best way to start changing the world is if the people in this world change themselves so I could help them by getting their minds right. I also have ideas for a couple of organizations that I would like to start.

    What are some issues going on in your community?

    What are some social issues you can think of?My main goal in life is to help people. How can I make this world a better place?
    i think that's a good idea, but you can't focus TOO much on helping people...i guess i mean, if you become so concentrated on that, you won't notice the simple things you can do. you don't have to go out and change everyone's mindsets and stop world hunger and everything...you can start by giving simple smiles or sacrificing something to help brighten someone else's day.My main goal in life is to help people. How can I make this world a better place?
    you can never go wrong with helping the homeless. Giving them a place to stay for a night and breakfast is one thing. Then they go out and just survive till it's night time. If one gave them an opportunity to go to class, just to learn who to read, give them something to live for other than a bottle of booze, or another hit. Something to break a vicious cycle.

    On the local level create easier access to things people need. Create abundance. Help people start their own gardens. Help people take advantage of things already offered by the community.

    yourself .

    you are a temple and all around you adore . the Q is what do you want out of it all . do you want a financial status to be your quo .

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quid_pro_qu

    or do you want to burn out or fade away .

    best stars in the sky are the ones that burned out . it didnt linger it didnt care it ment nothing to any . and every thing was made for he . and your life leads you on a road to something . some wear. out there . and maby just maby you will find something that is better than home .

    and man shall live in tents for the rest of time .

    dont remember where that is . but it says to read the word and carry it in your heart . most people forget that .

    our tents just got better . we pretend to own and rule the land . but man has a sad awakening . she will fight back . they ask where did god come from ..he / it came from its mother through reproduction . the main goal in any situation is how can i safeguard myself . or how can i safeguard the word .



    remember the best way to change the world is to start with you and where you are . remember . not enough soil and it will wither away .



    the way man treats man . this is the biggest poison we have today .



    man is in shackles . once upon a time if a man attacks you . you could defend yourself to the death . but now if you hurt your attacker you are guilty .



    know what is in your land ..

    i dont know about you but i dont see the farming doing well . the land suffers and so shall we .



    teach them what mother needs them to know .



    how many butter flies have you seen lately .



    sound like you in the right mix on you job choice . you will never be out of work . we are all crazy know..

    droven mad by means of stupidity in thinking man is special in a gods eye that said . adam take the field and prosper.



    and again teaching the children the truth . not just one god . there is several . and one is good and one is bad . choice is made by the one that doesnt turn its back on .



    its not just the teen and under bracket that needs lifting .



    couples . it sucks going to bars and shingle factory .



    life beats on . but it fallows another.My main goal in life is to help people. How can I make this world a better place?
    The first place to start is within yourself. Once (and only once) you yourself are whole can you help another human being on their path to wholeness. Also, it matters not which counseling discipline you follow. Statistics have shown that it is the therapist/counselor that determines the success or failure of a treatment regimen, not the methodology.

    Your very life can be an inspiration for change and your presence a centering influence if you yourself are whole and complete.

    If I may suggest some reading towards your goal, I'd read...

    %26quot;The Primal Wound: A Transpersonal View of Trauma, Addiction, and Growth. by John Firman and Ann Gila%26quot;. That one is to move towards greater personal wholeness. The second one I'd read is... %26quot;How can I help!%26quot; by Ramm Dass. That may give you ideas on your pathway to making this world a better place.

    Good luck and Namaste!My main goal in life is to help people. How can I make this world a better place?
    Make a lot of money. Bill Gates is making much more of a difference than some silly counselor. Oprah is able to make substantive changes in people lives, the more money you have the more you can do.My main goal in life is to help people. How can I make this world a better place?
    Okay.

    1. Nobody can change anybody

    2. Psychologists and counselors HURT people for a living.

    3. If you aren't selfish enough to take care of yourself you have NOTHING to give anyone else.

    4. If YOU aren't SELFISH enough to take care of yourself you have NOTHING to give anyone else.

    5. The best way to help someone is by EXAMPLE.

    6. The world can only get better from the INSIDE OUT.My main goal in life is to help people. How can I make this world a better place?
    One must first realize that, nothingness is the enivability of life. And with that in mind it's futile to try and change the world, to give everyone a bed, or have everyone's dreams come true. But what can be done, is to understand. When we understand one another we connect, we don't play into social stigmas, we are free. I know it is impossible to every truly know another person, but we must strive to understand and create a sense of belonging.My main goal in life is to help people. How can I make this world a better place?
    If your goal is to be a counselor, how many people would you be able to help?

    If your goal is to help people what is the best way to help the highest number of people?

    Starving people do not need counseling more than food.

    Homeless people need homes more than counseling.

    Is your goal to be a counselor or to help the greatest number of people that you can?

    To make this world a better place, do not stop helping people. There is more need than for merely counselors can provide.

    For many years, I lived out of a suitcase. I'd wake up in the morning and have to think to remember what country I was in. No 2 days, no 2 weeks, no 2 years were the same. And I loved it.

    Now I'm older and a little tired. I bought a house and turned it into my own little world, filled with memories of my travels, and my cats and dogs. I rarely leave the city more than once a month, and every day is pretty much the same. And I love it.Some people preffer changes in their life,some don%26039;t preffer changes in life.whats your opinon?

    I love change and hate the people who pull their hair out because something cahnged, chage is enevitable, embrace it or go insain, its like trying to stop the time from passing......Some people preffer changes in their life,some don%26039;t preffer changes in life.whats your opinon?
    i think if life was meant to stay the same we would never grow up. we would all be babies for our whole lives. i think change is the best darn thing that can happen in life because without it life would be boring. without it, nothing good would ever happen. we would never feel happy, or sad, or angry because isn't that really why we feel at all? because things change and we don't like them or we love them and so we FEEL and feeling is just a part of being human.Some people preffer changes in their life,some don%26039;t preffer changes in life.whats your opinon?
    First you have to break down the process of %26quot;Change%26quot;...it is the end result of a different situation. Everyone likes things to change for the better, but the outcome can't be predicted without actually getting there and that is where the problem is. For something to change it means that it's different. Most people find that when things are different they are uncomfortable and out of their safe zone. So in the process to change they start to freak out a lil bit. They might be the same people who would love the outcome of change but it's the process of being uncomfortable that makes them fear it. To change you have to take a leap of faith. Most aren't that fearless. Hope this helps =]Some people preffer changes in their life,some don%26039;t preffer changes in life.whats your opinon?
    Often people stick with the status quo because it is safe and predictable. Change can be scary because of the element of uncertainty. Change also can be risky. As an example, I often think of leaving my job with a daily newspaper to write freelance. I think I could ultimately would be happier and may make more money. But I am concerned about paying for health insurance until I get established. So I have a plan to make the change when I turn 59 1/2 and can take money from my 401K without penalty. That is only 9 years and about five months away. So I have a plan for change and am content, knowing the change will come one day. ... I guess this answer turned out to be long.Some people preffer changes in their life,some don%26039;t preffer changes in life.whats your opinon?
    Change is constant... Like it or not, I believe our job is to have acceptance of it.Some people preffer changes in their life,some don%26039;t preffer changes in life.whats your opinon?
    i like changes, i can't live without them because i start getting paranoid. after a month or two i have to change all the furniture in my room around trying to place them in different places, the same in my look. and im waiting for one big change to change my whole life :) [haha how many times did i say change??!! xD]Some people preffer changes in their life,some don%26039;t preffer changes in life.whats your opinon?
    i didnt like change but now i realise that change is how you tell if your dead or not.Some people preffer changes in their life,some don%26039;t preffer changes in life.whats your opinon?
    I'm for it...why is it so hard to accept? Is it possible that our nature is rather still?

    Am I waiting to long to make life-changing decisions?

    I'm 18 years old, just finished my exams, doing a year long course in Management, have a god job, a boyfriend of a year .... And I'm happy enough!

    But a lot of people are pressuring me to know exactly what I want to do in life, and I haven't an idea what I want yet! Sometimes I feel stressed because it seems everyone else knows what they want....I just want to go with the flow!



    Am I waiting too long?Am I waiting to long to make life-changing decisions?
    No you aren't waiting too long. As long as your happy with your life don't pay any attention to them. Life is about being happy and not seeing how much money you can make or climbing the corporate ladder. That's the trouble now days.Am I waiting to long to make life-changing decisions?
    your still basically a teenager. wait till your like 25 then you can make small decisions.Am I waiting to long to make life-changing decisions?
    you're only 18. it sounds like you are farther along than most 18-year olds!



    this is what you can do for now. always ask yourself the following questions:

    %26quot;what do i like to do?%26quot;

    %26quot;what am i good at?%26quot;

    %26quot;where do i want to live?%26quot;

    %26quot;what jobs might i want to have one day?%26quot;

    %26quot;what might i want to study in college?%26quot;



    right now, you do NOT have to have solid answers to those questions. you have 18 years of life behind you; you have many more ahead of you. right now you need to focus on being happy, and getting to know yourself and moving on up! you should always have an idea of what you want, and when you're ready to go for it--do it!Am I waiting to long to make life-changing decisions?
    Not at all. If you try to rush and make a decision when you're not ready, you can end up making a big mistake. There are too many stories of ppl getting married then divorced or having kids too early or other things like picking the wrong school or major.



    Just wait til you're ready, find something you like and then you'll know what you want to do.

    First rule, they change their lives ... you do not do it for them, because that is considered Manipulation and is wrong. Okay, they need change. You see that clearly. But what you do is provide the information they need to change. When they take the information, you have done your best. This is a tough part of life, accepting that people are who they are and the only ones to change that is themselves. Sooo, what information to give them? Depends on the problems. Anger management, AA, birth adoption info, college catalog, etc.



    The true answer to your exact question is Like Minded People Are United By What They Have In Common. For example, sometimes two enemies will adore a grandchild. Opponents will have a common cause such as preserving a wilderness area will unit hunters and hikers.

    For those of you who call people "retards", last night changed my life.?

    %26quot;Retard%26quot; is a very commonly mis-used word.

    I used to say it all of the time, not in an offensive way making fun of mentally retarded people, but just using it as a casual remark. For instance %26quot;Wow, this is retarded!%26quot;, %26quot;Oh-em-gee I'm so retarded!%26quot;



    Last night, I went with my two best friends to an arcade/pizza place.

    There was this giant claw machine, with giant stuffed animals in it.

    One of my friends and I won a stuffed animal out of there, so later on we came back to it to try to get my other friend a toy.

    They fell behind as I was walking towards the claw machine, but I kept going.

    When one of my friends caught up with me, we saw this man, in hiker boots and shorts, a camera around his neck, and he was playing the claw machine very seriously.

    I started to whisper to my friend %26quot;Is he like the claw machine Master or something?%26quot;

    He rounded the corner all the way around it, I heard cheering coming from a woman and someone who sounded like a toddler when the claw picked up a big bear, but then it dropped it and the man didn't get the giant toy.

    I walked up to the claw machine, and started helping my friend with it so she could win something. The same man walked around next to us, and started talking to someone on the other side.

    I guess I looked at him funny cause I didn't know who he was talking to, and he said %26quot;Sorry! I was just talking to my daughter.%26quot;

    I noticed a girl, about my age (13), GORGEOUS face, BEAUTIFUL hair, and she was handicapped in a wheelchair.

    She had this plastic brace around her torso, strapping her in, her hands were kind of curled upwards a little bit, and her mouth was wide open with a huge smile. She had some drool dripping from her mouth, too.

    After my friend and I stopped with the claw machine, my other friends mom walked up, and started to try to get something out of it.

    I looked over at the handicapped girl's family, the dad was telling his girl that they would try to get her a stuffed animal later.

    The biggest look of disappointment and confusion struck her face.



    Then, my friend's mom walked over, and gave the girl one of the giant teddy bears.

    She had won it, for her.

    The look on the girls face was indescribable.

    It made me think: we always use the word %26quot;retarded%26quot; like its nothing. Imagine how the FAMILY would feel, having their daughter be like that. Imagine how HARD it would be to grow up a normal life.

    And imagine if you had someone like that in your family.



    Some people might not find this as moving as I did, but I guess if you were there and watching it happen it would be life-changing.

    Ya I don't think I will say that againFor those of you who call people %26quot;retards%26quot;, last night changed my life.?
    I agree. I have a disabled cousin who uses braces on his legs. Society shunned him. He's picked on by his class on a daily basis and even though he has no damage in his brain and he's actually very smart, his classmates call him a retard. He's one of the brightest kids I know and he won't accept the fact that he's fine, but physically disabled. Also, I have a friend, in his twenties who's mentally handicapped. He's one of the sweetest guys I know. I didn't realize his condition until I started to talk to him and got to know him well. I don't insult people for the fun of it, but things slip sometimes. I won't use that word anymore...For those of you who call people %26quot;retards%26quot;, last night changed my life.?
    The girl probably had cerebral palsy and may not have been retarded at all. Not using the word retarded is a good thing but do not assume that everyone who is disabled is also a %26quot;retarded%26quot; person. Many people are severely disabled and have very sharp minds even though they appear and express themselves as if they don't.For those of you who call people %26quot;retards%26quot;, last night changed my life.?
    This is so refreshing. People don't realize the impact that it has on others when they throw around terms like retard and stupid. I don't allow it to be used in my house. I am so happy that you experienced a life changing event like this. You will find that you are a much better person.For those of you who call people %26quot;retards%26quot;, last night changed my life.?
    after reading and answering so many questions here this one will stick with me.Just to know that there is still some kindness in this crazy world we live in makes this so refreshing.Thanks for bringing something human to this form.For those of you who call people %26quot;retards%26quot;, last night changed my life.?
    i'm so glad you took the time to notice this special girl. you should be prud of yourself. my partner is disabled he was born with his disability and now is a permanent wheelchair user due to amputation of both his legs hrough the knees and it really gets me down when people stare and whisper and laugh, teenagers adults and kids who are so full of ignorance. i always wondered if they ever thought about it. if they had disabled children would the laugh and jeer at them? no, they would protect them from the ignorance of others. i appreciate you taking your time to write what you did. you are an inspiration to me and have given me a glimmer of hope that not all people out there are so unkind. I hope that other people read this and get inspiration from you and the next time they think of using that word or sneering at a disabled person they actually think %26quot;what if that happend to me or my children of my family%26quot;. Thank you you have truely made my day. : )For those of you who call people %26quot;retards%26quot;, last night changed my life.?
    I'll try to stop,

    it's just like how i don't use gay or f** (never used the f one) anymore, it's just terrible how people don't even seem to care,

    Normally you prefer to live a very comfortable life and not worry about making too many changes in your life.You wonder why things change all the time and that would scare a lot of people.The world doesn't make sense sometimes and you wonder why people change so much.I would rather live comfortably and not have any worries in the world about making too many tough decisions to change your life.Its better to live stress free life.Change of life really sucks.Do you wish that everything in life stayed the same and not worry about inevitable changes?

Then, as you age, things are changing all the time. But, we need to learn to adapt and accept all changes Sweetie. Hopefully you will find a life partner to go through the tough times with. One where you will support, uphold and encourage one another. One where the world need not make sense to you just because you have each other to get through it all. This is my wish for you. To find a dear and loving soul mate.Do you wish that everything in life stayed the same and not worry about inevitable changes?
    not really... Change can be good but it depends on what it is and why...you can create any type of life you want if you take action and seek opportunities to make things happen... it's how you perceive situations as to how happy you can be. Many successful people have to take steps to create an environment that's livable for them... and lots of bad situations that are caused by a change of some sort can sometimes influence other aspects of life to be positive... I think change makes us appreciate what we have and keeps us working toward having a better life if it's nurtured in the right way...



    but things change and we just have to roll with the punches sometimes...

    If your focus in life on changing the world or accepting it for what it is?

    I think it is impossible to change the world, and injustice and negativity are impossible to eliminate.



    I think it would be a lot healthier if people just relaxed and stopped worrying about saving the environment, curing AIDs and breast cancer and eliminating poverty. You can never make life in the world perfect. Why can't more people realize that and stop being stupid?If your focus in life on changing the world or accepting it for what it is?
    Perfection is impossible--but what is perfect is striving for betterment and being ideal individuals. The only way to change the world is to come together in union all egos aside and agree. Reality is what it is. My focus in life isn't necessary changing the world, but rather changing my world. By changing my immediate world, the world of those around me will also change. But I have to first start with myself. Realize my flaws and imperfections, take responsibility, and strive to live with all the goodness of my soul. Life is a circle. The mind is a powerful tool. Harness it and you will be amazed.If your focus in life on changing the world or accepting it for what it is?
    Stupid you say? stupid is as stupid does. How can you say oh just accept that the environment is screwed and do not worry about aids and breast cancer and eliminating poverty.



    What kind of nut are you. close your eyes and it will go away.

    As I often say:

    %26quot;What has Reality ever done for me?%26quot;If your focus in life on changing the world or accepting it for what it is?
    There will always be those who disagree with you and that actually is a good thing. Without those who are unwilling to accept the idea that we live in the best of all worlds we could never move forward as a society or even as a species.



    On the other hand, if such an attitude was widespread no one would ever accomplish anything in the day to day existence.



    As a result, society needs a healthy balance of both approaches. Without either one we would come to a standstill.If your focus in life on changing the world or accepting it for what it is?
    While these things you have mention may not be fixed in our lifetime, what we do now has a direct bearing on the future. One person can change the world. Their impact may be small, but the repercussions of their choices and actions may end up affecting the world for years to come. I would rather try to change what I see as wrong with the world, than sit idly by and let things come what may.If your focus in life on changing the world or accepting it for what it is?
    Young people have always rebelled against the evils and hypocrisy of the world, and I hope that they always will. IN the 60's we fought against the pollution of our country and the Vietnam War. The war was ended, and the pollution was greatly reduced. If we all had your attitude, we would be drinking filthy water, breathing toxic air, and are life expectancies would be less than our parents was.



    Now many patriots are fighting against the illegal alien invasion of our country, and WE WON'T BACK DOWN! We will save America.If your focus in life on changing the world or accepting it for what it is?
    What? I am flabbergasted that this question encompasses so much negativity.

    We can never relax while there is still oppression in the world, Keeping you own yard clean is a wonderful start. As for AIDS and cancer, there will be a cure. Poverty is almost nil in the USA and if we are passionate about changing that, then why can't we try to help people out of poverty by giving them the tools and skills it take to succeed. In the meantime if we all give to charities, then that's a start.

    It is not stupid to have a dream of a better world Martin Luther King did and things changed. Columbus did and discovered a new world. Jonas Salk, Marie Curie, Mother Theresa, and many more than are known and unknown. Certainly you wouldn't call them stupid, or would you?If your focus in life on changing the world or accepting it for what it is?
    I try to change the world every day by being nice to everyone. Holding the door open for a stranger, helping someone carry their groceries to the car, etc. Every act be it simple or large is significant and is worthwhile.

    How can somebody make positive changes in their life while other people stand on their back and assume way too?

    The first step is to fully accept one's current situation and then decide to strive toward perceived positivity, rather than lamenting one's current state and losing hope that things can be changed.

    Fear comes from thinking about the unknown. It may help us to accept change if we are aware of the reason for the change. Try to think of the positives - if you intend to change something in your life, is it going to make you feel better. Is there somebody you can discuss this with - not necessarily for them to give you advice - merely to listen to you. It is sometimes a good way for you to come up with answers yourself. Good luck and try not to be too scared of the future. Consider change as a journey, with different turnings and roads to be taken. I am sure you will reach your destination.Why are people so scared of changing their lives?I want to change mine,but I%26039;m suffering from the same thing?

    I cant quite explain i to you,since english isnt my first language,but i can try.

    you are human and this fear,although is smth you dont understand,is something that you yourself created.it is because you dont know whats going to happen next.even if you think its going to be better,you still know you cant be sure 100%,and that gives you the creeps-unconsciously,you start asking yourself the question-what is better,now or change?and you become insecure.another thing is,most of us are usualy stable with their lives,used to them,and changing completely,even for better,is quite scary. one way to overcome your fear-go with the flow,and dont try to change time yourself-at least that way you will blame it on fate,not on yourself!Why are people so scared of changing their lives?I want to change mine,but I%26039;m suffering from the same thing?

    Just keep pushing your self one day you're going to say what the hell was I worried about and do it.

Just keep pushing and you'll start to see results.Why are people so scared of changing their lives?I want to change mine,but I%26039;m suffering from the same thing?
    Fear of loss can play a part in this.



    Try to remind yourself that whatever you are losing is being changed for something better.

    Just go for it!Why are people so scared of changing their lives?I want to change mine,but I%26039;m suffering from the same thing?
    Cause it is a move to the unknown, what helps for most is planing and also sharing the feel with others seeking reassurance by someone who can and will support you in the change.

    This is a basic fear in every human, but you must note that fear is not necessarily a bad thing as long as it dasnt become panic, fear makes you more awe of things makes you more careful. Just don't let it direct your life.Why are people so scared of changing their lives?I want to change mine,but I%26039;m suffering from the same thing?
    Change is always hard. I think we as people like to get to a comfortable place in our lives and then stay there. Change may mean uprooting yourself and moving to a new place, breaking up with someone we know isn't really making us happy or changing our groups of friends for the better. Even though you are trying to change your life for the better, it is still hard because it means that the things or people around us will change. Starting over can be a wonderful stepping stone to a more productive life and can bring new adventures and experiences that will make us better and our lives better. I think most people like being in that comfort zone. Personally, my life has been a roller coaster of changes but most all of them have improved my life. Look at it as an exciting new chapter in your life, a new beginning and new things to experience. When we get too set in our comfort zone, our lives can become stagnant and boring. Life really is about growing and changing throughout your life. Each change can be a step closer to fulfilling your dreams and becoming a better, more knowledgeable person. Try to look at making changes as a positive in your life. Fear of change is normal, but instead of fear, try to turn that fear in to excitement about what new things will happen to you with the changes that are coming. I have found that nothing stays the same forever, not people, not the world around us, so embrace change and start a new adventure in your life for the best, Good luck to you.Why are people so scared of changing their lives?I want to change mine,but I%26039;m suffering from the same thing?
    Change is an ongoing process.... It's happening right now. Each of us is aging (a change), experiencing some aspect of life (which is subtly changing us), getting fat (or thin), etc., etc. Whether you see it or not, your life is already changing with every moment that passes.



    It is the mind that tries to abide in one place, trying desperately trying to hold on those things we know. To hold on to those things that provide a sense of security.



    Now if you can accept that everything is already changing.... Then, accept that you can choose to influence how things change around you. If you want to change yourself.... TAKE ACTION.Why are people so scared of changing their lives?I want to change mine,but I%26039;m suffering from the same thing?
    personally, I think that I fear doing things that make me comfortable, even though I want to change, to better myself and be a better example seeing that it is hard to find a good example, It's just that I have done things so long and it some how became a part of my being happy, even though after I do things I am not happy, I don't think it's fear, I think that you are knowing what you have to let go in order to change, and that's hard, so that you may be afraid of, letting go of the old to bring in the new, and that is hard for me as I speak, real talk

    It is normal to fear uncertainity and unfamiliar forthcomings which of course you dont know if what follows would be worse than the innitial.



    It is like diving into unclear waters to in search of a treasure that could bring good living for the rest of your life. Even after being assured it is fine down there - and you havent seen anyone do it before.



    The fear is from uncertainity and insecurity. Have you studied animals? WHEN A FOUL GETS INTO A NEW TERRAIN, IT LIFTS ONE OF ITS LEGS UP and after familiarizing itself with the place it feels safe and brings down the leg. That fear is reflex



    All you need is faith. Believe in yourself, be optimistic and caurageous and know that Life itself is a risk, know that God is watchin, then TAKE THAT PLAUNGE thats the only way to find out whats in there.Why are people so scared of changing their lives?I want to change mine,but I%26039;m suffering from the same thing?
    I feel exactly the same way - whenever I think about changing something dramatic I begin to feel extremly stressed and anxious. This fear comes from the unexpected, the fear of the unknown we feel safe and secure if we follow the same routine and do the same activities. Be strong and try to change just something little each day, these small changes will soon add up and hopefully, reduce your fear when you see how far you have come!!Why are people so scared of changing their lives?I want to change mine,but I%26039;m suffering from the same thing?
    Most people fear the unknown. Changing one's life is a gigantic step, one never knows let alone be sure of whether the change will end up being better, or worse; the latter possibility is the root of the fear.
