Have you ever felt that you're changing for the better in your life?  

I actually feel that I'm in a major crossroads in my life right now. Actually, an instrument of change in my life is my girlfriend. We met a year ago and after two months of courtship, we got into a relationship. Since then, I've noticed a lot of changes in me already. First is that I got a lot more serious in life now than I used to be. It might sound too much but she's opened my eyes and mind up to what my priorities should be. There are only a few very important things in mind right now and these are career advancement, healthy lifestyle, good finances, and a great family in the near future. We actually have already started to talk and plan about having our first child by late next year. I have never thought that I'd be serious before and I'm just so thankful that I am now. Another very important change that I have noticed so far is that I'm getting a better relationship with Christ. I'm a Catholic since birth but I don't go to church a lot before. Now, I'm doing my best to make it a point to really hear mass every Sunday. Apart from that, I also read Bible verses randomly. In line to that, I sensed some character change in me. I'm no longer the hot tempered person that I used to be and I'm more patient and understanding now.

I'm comparing myself now and before. Years back, all I think about is fun and enjoyment. I'm very active in sports that it eats a lot of my time, not really that productive. But now, since me and my girlfriend already have some plans, my priorities have changed. I'm working on getting better in my field of expertise and at the same time, we're planning to start a business before the year ends. What we're doing now is really setting and establishing ourselves for the future when we have our family already.

So far, those are the changes that I had in my life for the better and I'm just so glad that I had them as early as now. Have you experienced some life changing experiences too at some point in your lives?
