The Mirror, The Mindset, and the Power to Change
By Maxandra Desrosiers
Excerpt: It’s easy to blame others when life feels unfair. But real transformation begins in the mirror—with truth, accountability, and a Kingdom mindset. If you’re ready to break the cycle and step into freedom, this one’s for you.
Have you ever found yourself stuck in the same patterns—again? The same arguments, the same financial setbacks, the same fears, frustrations, or feelings of “Why me?” It’s easy in those moments to look around and point fingers.
- Blame your parents.
- Blame your spouse.
- Blame the government.
- Blame the economy.
- Blame God.
The easiest route in any difficult situation is to assign blame. To slip into victimhood. To rehearse the pain. But that route, as easy and familiar as it feels, leads nowhere new. It only keeps you in the same place… with the same results.
“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results.”
The Shift Begins in the Mirror
What if instead of blaming others, we looked in the mirror and asked better questions? What if, instead of staying bitter or hurt, we got curious with God?
- What did this experience come to teach me?
- What am I believing about myself in this moment—and is it true?
- God, who do You say I am?
- What’s the invitation here for me to grow?
These are the kinds of heart-searching questions that transform lives. Inspired by the teachings of Jamie Winship, these questions are not about shame or self-judgment. They’re about uncovering truth. Because truth transforms. And you can’t walk in freedom if you’re still chained to lies.
Blame Keeps You Stuck—Ownership Sets You Free
The truth is: you will never find power in blame. There’s no freedom in finger-pointing. But when you start to own your healing, your growth, and your mindset, everything begins to shift.
- Healing is a choice.
- Transformation is a process.
- Growth is a daily decision.
Choose to Learn. Choose to Forgive. Choose to Rise.
What if you forgave those who hurt you—not to excuse them, but to release your own soul from captivity? What if you turned your pain into wisdom? Your wounds into worship?
“God, what do You want me to know about this?”
“What is Your truth in the middle of this trial?”
Your Future Depends on the Choices You Make Today
The first step is in your hands. Today can be another page in the same old story… or it can be the beginning of a brand new chapter.
Let me lovingly remind you:
- You are not too far gone.
- You are not stuck unless you choose to stay stuck.
- You were created for more.
- God is not against you—He’s FOR you.
Final Thought
Transformation doesn’t happen overnight. It’s planted in the soil of humility, watered with truth, and grown in the light of God’s love. Every day you choose growth, healing, forgiveness, and wisdom, you get one step closer to the life God destined for you.
So today, let’s choose the harder path—the higher one. Let’s stop blaming and start building. Let’s stop reacting and start reflecting. Let’s stop surviving and start thriving.
With love,
