I have decided for now that I am only going to post on Friday's and hopefully as time goes on I will add another day (or two) back into my blogging schedule. I was listening to K-Love the other day on my drive in to work and they asked this question: During hard/difficult times in your life, have you become better or bitter? I thought that was a really good question. So I took the time to reflect and honestly answer the question. We all have had our fair share of hardships and we all have our own way of dealing with things. I honestly can say that most of the time I will get bitter at first. Especially when I feel like someone has wronged me. Think about it... maybe a friend, family member, or someone you never thought would wrong you has. You're furious right?? Thinking "How could they do that to ME???" "Why is this happening to ME???" I get it, trust me. But, (you knew there'd be a but) when it is all said and done. Honestly ask yourself if you're making a mountain out of a mole hill. If you're honest, most of the time it's really not that big of a deal once you get over the shock of it. Now, now... before you start screaming at me from your screen because "I don't know what you're going through" just wait. I promise I am going to enlighten you. You know I am a no non-sense type of gal. I have been in situations where I find that people I never imagined not having in my life have to get moved well, out of my life. and there is nothing wrong with that. The fact of the matter is, they don't owe me anything! My life will go on with or without them. So put them out of your life, MOVE ON with your life. Stop dwelling on it. Stop inventing arguments with them while you wash your hair (or am I the only one who does that? haha) What I am trying to say is, that I don't want to see any of you turn into a bitter person because someone treated you poorly. Don't let them have that much control over you!
I have learned that you have two choices in every situation: BETTER = You come out being a better person because of it. OR BITTER = you're a big cry baby that needs to dust yourself off and GET OVER IT!
If you can do this you will be so much happier in life! I have adapted this way of thinking and it took years to get myself to think this way but now, I can honestly say that I have no hard feelings towards the people that have wronged me. If anything, I pity them. I pray for them. I wish them well in their journey. It's not my place to sit here and bad mouth them and try to make others see their evil ways. The truth is, people have an amazing way of revealing their true selves, motives, etc. in time.
So, the point of this long post is: Don't be bitter! Be better! Rise above, show others that no matter what people do to you that you will continue to hold your head high and live the way you've been called to live.
I hope you enjoyed this post. Have a good weekend and remember to BE BETTER, NOT BITTER!
