Reasons why God remove someone from your life

Do we sometimes wonder why people leave us? Or why does someone stay away from us? Why did Lord take them when we still needed them?

They say, 'everything happens for a reason', and leaving us has its number of reasons (not just by death). Here are some of it:

1. Taken from granted

Oftentimes, we didn’t realize we became ‘negative’ to that person. We unconsciously hinder his/her sight to the Lord, and he/she needs to "grow" without you on his side. Maybe you are taking him/her for granted so his "growth" as a Christian does not happen.

2. To be with God

Sometimes we depend too much on a certain person. Whenever we face trials or triumph, we go and tell our most favorite person. Yes, I know it is not bad to do that, but we must not forget our Almighty God to thank first before anything else. Maybe, it’s a lesson from God that we shouldn’t rely too much on people.

3. Toxic

If in number one we are the one who hinders them, now they are the one who became a negative person to us. God knows that they're toxic for us. He knows who will be a bad influence and knows what trouble this might bring. This always happens with our friends. God knows if they will lead you to wrongdoings, so to avoid that, He’ll remove you from these people’s lives.

4. Bring someone else

- God may remove someone from our life to bring someone else in. If that great person was gone then God will surely replace him/her with something greater.

Maybe there’s a lot of reasons why God remove someone in our life but whatever reason is that always remember this: God says,

"The reason some people have turned against you and walked away from you without reason, has nothing to do with you. It is because they cannot go where I am taking you next. They will hinder you to your next level, and they have already served their purpose in your life. Let them go and keep moving. Greater is coming."

Road to Growth Mindset

A goal is an idea that you envision, plan, look forward to, and commit to do and achieve within a time frame you have set. Motivation and mindset direct us to achieve our goals.

According to psychologist Carol Dweck, mindset is categorized into two: fix mindset and growth mindset. People who have a fixed mindset believed that their traits and skills were fixed and cannot be changed. They are afraid of making mistakes and rejections. On the other hand, a growth mindset understands that their traits and skills can be developed, improved, and changed over some time.

How about you? Do you know if you have a fixed mindset or a growth mindset?

As I write this article, how timely that I have also received a weekly email newsletter from Mr. T Harv Eker, an author, businessman, and motivational speaker, about Mindset. I would like to share his reminders on "How to Develop a Growth Mindset", where I, myself, have learned something about it.

The first thing that you should remember to develop a Growth Mindset is, "You are awesome".

This is not just an affirmation or praise but this is the truth. Sometimes, because of the many problems that we're facing, we forget our value as a person. According to him, what holds people back is their mindset, which I firmly agree with. If you have this thinking "this is the only thing that I can do." or "I am not that smart, I don’t know that." Then you are limiting yourself. This is one of the reasons why we are stuck with what skills and knowledge we have right now, rather than exploring and expanding our expertise, and this might lead to forgetting how awesome you are as a person.

Wait. How can you say that I am awesome?

Understanding that you are part of this miraculous world and how a tiny cell lives and overcomes this world, having a purpose in someone's life. That makes you an awesome person! Repeat it every day then you'll never forget the value you have as an excellent person. In addition to that, you will find ways to nurture your mind and heart.

The second is, "You cannot be fearful in the present moment".

Stop worrying about the future to the point that you're not living in the present. He pointed out that fear is the anticipation of pain. So, if you're always looking out for the rejections, disappointments, and mistakes that you might encounter in the future, then you're wasting your time now. Always try to put your attention, vision, and goals at the moment.

Fear is inevitable as well as pain. You can't just dodge or avoid it. It is part of growing up as a person. And while you're attaining your goals, fear will be always there.

As we have said earlier, a fixed mindset person is afraid of rejections and mistakes, so if you want to have a growth mindset then embrace every fear, act despite it, and learn from it. Another lesson that I've learned from Robert Kiyosaki, "Mistakes were opportunities to learn something new. In school, you are considered smart, if you don't make mistakes. On the street, you're smart only if you make mistakes and learn from them." All you have to do is to embrace and ask God for His divine guidance.

Third, "Provide Value while Doing Something Big".

Learning is a lifetime process. Do something that will benefit you. Explore and learn new skills. After that, have an action. Have a large vision for your goals, think big, and start small. One step is a big action compared to no action at all. You can't just dream and imagine your goals, you must take action for it to happen. Take the first step in achieving your goals. One step at a time then you can achieve everything at the right time.

Fourth, "Nothing has meaning except for the meaning you give it".

You create your reality, not by external elements, but by how you view everything. If you look at a mistake as an opportunity to learn and to grow then it will be. But if you see it as a negative thing, then it will inflict pessimistic feelings on you. He quoted, "Nothing is anything until you make it something." and you are in charge of it. You decide on how you will look at it.

Lastly, "Everything happens for a reason and that reason is there to serve you."

I agree with this. Everything was set in God's perfect timing. Whatever circumstances happened, happening and will happen to you, it has a purpose in your life. It doesn’t matter if this will be a happy or sad moment. Just wait, and you’ll see why God let it happen to you.

Mr. T Harv Eker pointed out the principle of utilization wherein you'll find how to use what's happening to you, for you to make it beneficial for yourself and others. If you know how to transform everything into an opportunity to learn and to grow, then you can achieve your goals beyond your expectations.

We see how powerful our mind is. The motivational impact of mindset helps us to attain our goals in life. So if you want to accomplish every goal that you have then first changed your mindset, condition yourself. Fill in positive things and feed your mind with healthy habits and mindset, and of course, always ask God for guidance.
