Pick up the Change.
Thursday, November 5, 2009 at 7:12PM The past few weeks have been monumental in my life. I don't know why it had to happen now, and what inspired it. I would love to ramble on about every little thing that has changed for me. In short, I am starting to discover that I have always been a somewhat close-minded person, and I never realized it until recently. I have to say I am very grateful for the people in my life that have the guts to stand up to me and let me know when I need to make a change. There are some really important things I believe in now....
1. You can absolutely let your guard down sometimes. I have trouble trusting people, but sometimes it is perfectly fine to take the risk.
2. Be open-minded. Just because people have different beliefs or desires as you, doesn't mean they are wrong. The majority of people are trying their best to find happiness, and everyone is dealing with some kind of struggle. No matter how many times I judge someone, I always find out I'm the one in the wrong.
3. Forgiveness is one of the most important things to learn. Everyone makes mistakes, even big ones. It may take time, but there is always room to forgive eventually.
4. The grass is ALWAYS going to look greener on the other side, but take a closer glance. What you've got is pretty damn great. And if it's not, I hope you'll take the steps to make it great.
5. This is the hardest one for me, but when it seems like the whole world is caving in around you, it usually means that you are the one that needs to make a change. It's much harder, and inevitably impossible to change everyone else's perspective.
Please don't take this like I'm implying anything going on in my life. There are SO many events that have made me realize these things. I know this is all oober sentimental, and I don't mean to sound preachy, heaven forbid. This is mainly for me. Thanks to you all for being in my life, it's truly fabulous.
