A lesson learned, A lesson not forgotten...

[diedaily]

I have messed up in life…a lot…trust me. I have problems in school, problems with friends, problems with my parents and relationships in general. I tend to be the type of person that likes to settle issues right then and right there…true, you should not allow the sun to go down on your anger…but I must realize that there is a time and place for arguments and discussions. If there is no way that the issue WILL be settled or resolved at that particular point in time…then calm down and be patient until the next opportunity comes up that seems right. I do this mainly with my parents and the girl that I was last in a relationship with. I believe that both my parents and my ex-girlfriend are the two entities that showed this to me and are continuing to show this to me everyday. I am stubborn, I am not as wise as I sometimes believe that I am…but, one of the wisest things that I can do is recognize my faults and work on them...turn them down a notch. Work on them with the diligence of freight train. Run with them as though I was pushing for the gold. This problem of mine may never be completely relocated…but I hope and pray that it will be deluded immensely over time. I think that it already has, I think that it can, I know that it will.

Possibly, if you desire to, look at yourself today and see if there is one thing about yourself that you want to change, that should change, that can change. Don’t try to rush it, be patient and ask for wisdom, advice and the like to overcome that area of your life that is possibly hindering the abilities that you are capable of (being best friends, being loved, love-ing, caring or sharing). The first step is recognition of your faults, the next is taking control of them…and eventually you will see the destruction of them. I hope and pray that this is true for you one day. I am awaiting mine.
