Answer 1

Yes it is, absolutely!!!!

Answer 2

You can change if you want. Write down everything that you dont like about your personality and work on the bad ponts. Write a list of the good points and keep on improving on those.
Yes one can change their lives completely. I had times in my youth when I did bad things, I hated myself, now, I am an Ordained Priest. I use my experiences to assist others in NOT making the same mistakes

Answer 3

Of course. But have you ever tried to quit smoking or drinking coffee? It's about that hard or harder. It takes work, time, and patience with yourself. The things you regard as mistakes now very likely seemed reasonable at the time - that kind of habit of thinking is what you need to change. Good luck! We all screw up, and we all need forgiveness now and again; just try to think about what you're doing before you do it. And if you still screw up, don't beat yourself up over it, just mark it down as a mistake and try to not make that mistake again.

Answer 4

Happens millions of times each and every day.The key phrase here is "if you want to". Learn from your past mistakes and find a way to use those mistakes to building a new and better you. You may also fnd a way to use those mistakes to help others from experience like maybe even on Q&A. Alot of people on here have made mistakes and are always looking for someone to assist them in their live challenges and from what you wrote and said you could do it and believe me its fun and self rewarding while I still lean from others and grow, even with all my experience and education. Go for it and good luck. Also it wa my dads death that made me come on here and help others as a way of thanking him for what he taught me. Hope this helps

Answer 5

I don't think there is one person in the earth that has not made mistake in their life. You must commit to doing the right thing. Before you act on something analyze and evaluate the consequences. If you surround yourself with bad people you will be suck into behavior. Find good people to be around with and your life will change. Find good things to all you meet in life.

Answer 6

Yes, it is possible that people can turn their lives around. It happens everyday. The best way to get started is to stop allowing your past to define you. All of us have things in our past that we hate ever happened, but there is nothing you can do to change it. Make a list of long-term and short-term goals that you would like to reach and with lots of prayer and faith, you will achieve whatever you desire.

Answer 7

Only you and God know the specifics of your situation. Faith and Prayer will provide you with the strength that you need. Galatians 6:1-10 (1) My friends, if someone is caught in any kind of wrongdoing, those of you who are spiritual should set him right; but you must do it in a gentle way. And keep an eye on yourselves, so that you will not be tempted, too. (2) Help carry one another's burdens, and in this way you will obey the law of Christ. (3) If you think you are something when you really are nothing, you are only deceiving yourself. (4) You should each judge your own conduct. If it is good, then you can be proud of what you yourself have done, without having to compare it with what someone else has done. (5) For each of you have to carry your own load. (6) If you are being taught the Christian message, you should share all the good things you have with your teacher. (7) Do not deceive yourselves; no one makes a fool of God. You will reap exactly what you plant. (8) If you plant in the field of your natural desires, from it you will gather the harvest of death; if you plant in the field of the Spirit, from the Spirit you will gather the harvest of eternal life. (9) So let us not become tired of doing good; for if we do not give up, the time will come when we will reap the harvest. (10) So then, as often as we have the chance, we should do good to everyone, and especially to those who belong to our family in the faith. If you ask for help in Jesus' name you will receive it. Luke 12:22-32 (22) Then Jesus said to the disciples, "And so I tell you not to worry about the food you need to stay alive or about the clothes you need for your body. (23) Life is much more important than food, and the body much more important than clothes. (24) Look at the crows: they don't plant seeds or gather a harvest; they don't have storage rooms or barns; God feeds them! You are worth so much more than birds! (25) Can any of you live a bit longer by worrying about it? (26) If you can't manage even such a small thing, why worry about the other things? (27) Look how the wild flowers grow: they don't work or make clothes for themselves. But I tell you that not even King Solomon with all his wealth had clothes as beautiful as one of these flowers. (28) It is God who clothes the wild grass---grass that is here today and gone tomorrow, burned up in the oven. Won't he be all the more sure to clothe you? What little faith you have! (29) "So don't be all upset, always concerned about what you will eat and drink. (30) (For the pagans of this world are always concerned about all these things.) Your Father knows that you need these things. (31) Instead, be concerned with his Kingdom, and he will provide you with these things. (32) "Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the Kingdom. Have faith and don't be afraid to ask God for his Help.

Answer 8

Yes you most certainly can i make changes in my life all the time you learn from your mistakes and move on to better things.

Answer 9

Yes. As long as you *want* to change, you *can* change.

One thing I would advise is: don't hate yourself. Realize that there are things in your past that you are not proud of, but those things have brought you to realize that you need change. Make your changes, own those changes, own yourself. And then, love yourself, too.

Answer 10

Yes anyone can if they really want to. I hope you can because it is always good to realise you aren't perfect - too many people walk around believing that they are Superman!
