Life. There are many things to say about it. Life is full of happiness, friendships, laughter, memories and love. Overall, emotion trumps all in life.
Unfortunately, life is also composed of disappointments, sadness, regrets and tears. These feelings come with emotion as well. Sometimes situations come about in our everyday lives that we cannot control. We can only control the way we act about our situations.
Grudges. They come when situations turn to the worst, end up badly, and cause damage. Sometimes we view the damage as too much, turn the other cheek and walk away from the person or situation causing us distress. While taking time for yourself to evaluate the situation is the best resolution, it is important to reconsider all who are involved.
Who knows what any of our paths entail, and that is the scariest part of making decisions. Is this what I should be doing? Life has many lessons for us to learn. It is a blessing to experience the many experiences we do- whether it is for the best or for the worst. These situations build us up to make life more bearable... almost like were unbreakable. You can handle anything life throws your way.
Living life with no regrets is something I've learned early on. I can recall making certain decisions that impacted my future and only regretting it from there on out. That, is not how you should be going on with your days. Everything you decide on will soon enough fall into place and put you exactly where you need to be. Remember that always, and put trust in your gut. Time will show you that in the end the decision was everything you needed.
That is why when it comes to others and the marks they leave in your life- take it as it comes. Grudges are something that you can regret from start to finish. Don't let this negativity consume you and control your thoughts. It is time to get over it.
Certain situations come about in your life. Like i mentioned, lessons and blessings. If there is ever a situation that deters you from a path- take the new path. I believe in signs and what our destiny is. That is why, grudges are not something to hold onto. That person did exactly what was meant to happen, to teach you a lesson and to show you what new decision to make.
So, instead of hating, or talking badly about somebody- thank them. With each happening such as fighting, stealing an opportunity, going behind your back, etc., these instances are for a reason you'll understand later on down the road. Take each day to learn about yourself, learn what your capable of, and learn that there is so much more life has to offer.
So heres a thank you to anybody who has done me wrong, who has made me mad, who has put me in the situations I thought I could never rise from. I've hit rock bottom before, and there are times when I have felt on top of the world. And instead of holding grudges and negatively thinking about big parts of my life, I'm going to mend my own disappointments. I'm going to be there for myself, and I'm going to move on and live everyday with a smile on my face.
Life is about taking risks, having fun, making memories, and sharing these experiences. I'm going to make the most of my life with or without those that have once done me wrong in the past. Because, frankly, they do not need to be a part of my future.
Not holding a grudge does not mean you have to be friends- you can be civil, you can respect each other and move on without causing fusses. Letting go of grudges is all about being mature in any matter.
Thank you. To those who have showed me the differences between right, wrong and what I wake up everyday and chose not to be.
