Topic: Stubbornness And Change

We can be very stubborn. We resist change and we resist trying to change. Habits get so ingrained in us we often find habits are incredibly difficult to break. Being stubborn and resisting change can be a good thing. When we live a righteous life blessing others and blessing the work of God, we must resist changing. However, if we are locked into a lifestyle or a destructive habit where we are hurting ourselves or others, being too stubborn to change can be deadly for us or deadly for others. When we look in the mirror and we see someone who is not living a righteous life, and we are then dishonest about this unrighteous behavior, our ego can feed our stubbornness. If we are full of ego and pride, we will not want to change who or what we are. If we are full of ego and pride, we will want to maintain our unrighteous behavior and we will want others to keep us from changing. If we need to change our behavior, we must beat down our ego with humility. In the utmost humility we can finally and truly change who we are.
