I kept on thinking about God and then looked back at my own life. I thought that what has caused me to have such firm faith in God and what God would want, at least in my own life.
I have gone trough a very rough patch in my life for many years starting from my son getting leukemia, my sister dying and my marriage falling apart and ending up in divorce and from there on down in the same and even worse situations for something like 8 years at the moment. I am not going to list how bad things were that happened to me, I feel that is not the point. The point to me is that during all of the things that were happening to me, I still was guarded from death and deep inside always felt that someone loved me, even when I could not love myself.
That means to me personally that when there was no-one really caring for me, what or who was still caring for me and even loving me, when I hated myself. I feel that the answer cannot be anything else than God.

Then when I started to understand what had been happening to me, I felt that I needed to confess the things that I had done wrong and pray for forgiveness. So I started to speak about the issues that I felt I had failed God in and did it even vocally. Prayed also partly vocally for apparent nothingness. That seemed to help me very much, then I started praying just about thanking God for all the things he had done for me. Then I was a bit afraid of what I started to pray next but I felt deep inside that it was not wrong. I started to pray to have the strenght to carry on and do what was and is expected from me, not forgetting about forgiving the things I have done wrong and always thanking God.

I am in the middle of this process and now praying mostly in silence but the prayer is still basically the same. This has ended up in a situation for me that I feel that God is always in my corner when I am in a situation where I could fall. This has then manifested in my life in love, kindness, acceptance, forgiveness and all positive emotions towards not just my loved ones but to everyone. That then has turned my life to the way where the life I lead creates good things resonating back to me in all unforseen ways. So regardless of if it was and is God or not it has still created a life that I always have been wishing to lead.
I have to still add that everything feels nowdays all new and quite exiting. So I feel quite interested and thankful of everything around me. Nature is a huge inspiration to me.

Whether it’s career burnout, general aimlessness or a craving for a new path, most people will hear a call for a positive life change at some point in their lives.
This isn’t about the National Institutes of Health report that 16 million U.S. adults suffer from at least one major depressive episode each year, but rather about a healthy need to jar oneself out of a rut. What to do?
The case studies that follow offer excellent anecdotes that work. The key is to focus on the roots of your doldrums, recognize your power to get on the other side, and map out concrete action steps for moving through this phase and on to your greatness. If you find yourself in a rut, try these tactics to move forward.

- Identify the forces in your life that make you truly happy. Science finds that connection to loved ones, health (exercise specifically), and giving back are all closely connected to happiness. Create goals that include these themes.
- Focus on change. Write down the steps that you will take to move out of your rut. These might be specific things related to the results you want-for example, signing up for a class that introduces you to new people and experiences-but change can be found everywhere. Take a different route to work. Drink your coffee after breakfast instead of before. If you always tackle the elliptical machine at the gym, take on the treadmill. Buy an outfit that is outside of your comfort zone, or travel to new lands. Tackle a new skill that challenges your self-identity. Think of yourself as an introvert? Sign up for improv classes. Convinced you’re not athletically inclined? Enroll in tennis lessons. Are you a confident loudmouth? Go on a silent retreat.
- Get a goal buddy. This might mean asking a close friend, perhaps someone who also wants to make life alterations, or telling your entire network about your plans. Fear of public humiliation can be a powerful, positive force for adherence.
- Be open. You might start this journey with a clear idea of your desired outcomes. But if you do hard internal work and open yourself to the possibilities of positive change, even more amazing evolutions will be revealed. Stay nimble, and say yes.
