I was browsing the magazines in Borders yesterday, and the cover of "Phychology Today" caught my eye.
Here is the link to the site

The Cover Story is entitled "Change Your Nature: Build Courage, Passion, Joy and Optimism." On the cover, you will also see showcased the image of a lamb, dressed up with a shirt and tie, wearing plastic framed glasses. What does changing one's nature have to do with a lamb?
Actually, the psychologists that formulated this study and commented on its findings, where not the originators of this concept. Jesus Christ already told me to CHANGE MY NATURE in the Bible. In the Bible there are two natures, the sinful nature and the divine nature.
Romans 7:5
For when we were controlled by the sinful nature, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in our bodies, so that we bore fruit for death.
Romans 7:18
I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.
Romans 8:5-14
5Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. 6The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace; 7the sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so. 8Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God. 9You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ...12Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation—but it is not to the sinful nature, to live according to it. 13For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live, 14because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
Needless to say, I do not want to live according to the sinful nature, because in the sinful nature I die. I want to live according to the Spirit--the divine nature, in which I can have eternal life.
2 Peter 1:3-7
3His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. 4Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
5For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.
I truly want to 'change my nature' into in the divine nature. The divine nature--being the image of our Heavenly Father Christ Ahnsahnghong, and Heavenly Mother God, New Jerusalem! (Romans 1:19, Genesis 1:26)
