Think about it.

Change... Change in Biology is very important. Organisms need to change in order to survive. How about in Human? Do we need to change? Why  do we need to change? When are we going to change? What are we going to change?  Our way of living? Our attitudes towards our loves ones, to our works and most specially our relationship to God. Every year we need to assess our lives. We need to know what are the things we  have done wrong from that past in order for us to change and correct that actuation. I believe that everyone's life is driven by something. Along the way we can't avoid that there are many obstacles that would hinder in order for us to be successful in our endeavor. One is the existence of the problem in our life. Problems that would sometimes make us hopeless, discouragement but people look at this problems  serve as a challenge in order for us to be strong person.Second is pressure  or a deadline. Some people may be driven by a painful memory, a haunting fear or unconscious belief.According to Rick Warren many people are driven by guilt. They spend their entire lives running from regrets and hiding their shame. Guilt-driven people are manipulated by memories. They allow their past to control their future. They often unconsciously punish themselves by  sabotaging their own success.Many people are driven by resentment and anger. They hold on to hurts and never get over them. Instead of releasing their pain through forgiveness, they rehearse it over in their minds. Some resentment-driven people "clam-up" and internalize their anger, while others "blow-up: and explode it onto others. Both responses are unhealthy and unhelpful.Resentment always hurts you more than it does the person you resent. While other offender has probably forgotten the offense and gone on with life, you continue to stew in your pair perpetuating the past. Always remember that those who hurt you in the past cannot continue to hurt you now unless you hold on to the pain through resentment. Your past is past! Nothing will change it. You are only hurting yourself with your bitterness. For your own sake, learn from it and then let it go. Many people are driven by fear. Their fears may be a result of traumatic experience, unrealistic expectations, growing up in a high control home or even genetic predisposition. Regardless of the cause, fear-driven people often miss great opportunities because they're are afraid to venture out. Instead they play it safe avoiding risk and trying to maintain status quo.Fear is self-imposed prison that will keep you from becoming what God intends for you to be. You must move against it with the weapons of faith and Love. Many people are driven by materialism. Their desire to acquire becomes the whole goal of their lives. This drive to always want more is based on the misconceptions that having more will make me more happy, more important, and more secure, but all three ideas are untrue. Possessions only provide temporary happiness. Because things do not change, we eventually become bored with them and then want newer, bigger, better versions. It's also myth that if I get more, I will be important. Self-worth and net worth are not the same. Your value is not determined by your valuables, and God says the most valuable things are not things. The most common myth about money is that having more will make me secure. It won't. Wealth can be lost instantly through a variety of uncontrollable factors. Real security can only be found in that which can never taken from you-your relationship with God. Many people are driven by the need for approval. They allow the expectations of parents or spouses or children or teachers or friends to control their lives. Many adults are still trying to earn the approval of unpleasable parents. Others are driven by peer pressure, always worried by what others might think. Unfortunately, those who follow the crowd usually get lost in it. I don't know all the keys to success, but one key to failure is to try to please everyone. Being controlled the opinions of others is a guaranteed way to miss God's purpose for your life. Jesus said, "No one can serve two masters".
