Being transformed by the renewal of your mind

I have been thinking a lot about perspective lately. Mainly the fact that situations don’t necessarily change, but perhaps just our perspectives on them do.

I don’t look any prettier or uglier than I did when I first lost my hair. I didn’t wake up one morning and all of a sudden my looks had drastically changed and now I could bare to see the bald person looking back at me in the mirror. If that is not the case, then what happened? Why is what I once thought was “ugly” now finding a place of beauty in my eyes? How come now I can see beauty in Alopecia when before I couldn’t? What changed from one day to the next?

I honestly believe it was my perspective. I believe I found change through the renewal of my mind and thoughts about being bald. What do you think?

"Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will." Romans 12:2

this site needs a "like" button! You'd have a hundred for this, I am sure.

This thread needs bouncing back into life as it contains some remarkable wisdom, relayed by several writers who I will not name as none are here for reward. I will however say that the '8 cows' story brought tears. A strange occurrence at 7am!
