is brilliant advice! I HATE when people talk about me behind my back, as does everyone! It’s especially hurtful though if no one even tries to see your point of view….
Judging people irrationally is one of the major things about myself that is really upsetting…not only do I feel bad after, but it definately doesn’t make me seem or sound like a nice, understand and empathetic person. And who doesn’t want to geniunely have those qualities? :)

i am slowly reminding myself that the only person I can control is me.
it’s a hard thing to master, but it applies to so many things in our lives.
thanks for the advice! :)

It has been a recent topic in my home. I was complaining about someone and my son said, “Mom, you are __’s mirror. You two are alike. Instead of talking to each other, you complain about each other. And you both always think you’re right”... out of the mouth of babes.

This has caused me to rethink that whole relationship. It’s been a waste of time to complain and avoid speaking face to face. Again, I can’t change anyone elses mind about anything, but I will focus on accentuating the positive and letting the rest go~
