How am I doing in life? Inventory of myself.

Today, I was just thinking about myself and it had seemed like I had changed very little. Meaning, I see myself going through the same situations and I just started thinking if I am changing and becoming more of the person I dream of becoming. The answers that I got weren't very pleasing from all of my questioning. I asked myself how do I change? What practical and daily action can I take to be this person that I dream of becoming? I got some answers from reading this book titled " Live like a King" and the others from prayer. I turns out that who we are is like the sum total of a long equation. Meaning the person you are at the core, your attitude, your desires, your dreams, your ambitions and to make it simple: everything that makes you...you, is the result of the atmosphere you're in. For instance if you put a palm tree in front of a house in CT, that tree has no chance at any type of microscopic growth. However, if you plant that same tree in Florida it just sprouts up with ample success. Well, in a sense we are all like tree's. We have certain corks, experiences, genetics, etc. that make us different from one another but none the less we are all prone to grow in certain atmosphere's and die in other's. So, getting back to myself and the real but harsh answers I got from all of my questioning I have a solution for that: change my atmosphere!! How do I propose to do this? Well I am going to change what I'm connected to and what I'm spending the bulk of my time doing! I am going to pray more during the day and daily, fast weekly, read at least a scripture a day!! and overall change who I hang out with. I honestly want to be a person that makes a visible impact on the world in a Godly Christlike way!! So I am going to make and build a Christ like atmosphere around me in which I can grow in..It's not easy but I have to try, I just can't stop ya know..
