As you get older and grow through things (notice I said grow and not go), you start
to see life in a different light. I’m not just talking about circumstances, but
also the people you hang around and others you just come in contact
with on a daily basis.
You often can feel vibes of others when you first introduce
yourself; that vibe can either pull you in or make you run away. What I’ve come to realize this
past weekend is that I am starting to accept people where they are in life. Without the stress of trying to change them
for what I THINK they should be like. Nobody is perfect and everyone has their
own journey to go through.
I know growing up, I’ve always been that friend where I will
tell someone what I think is better for them, (probably still the same way today lol) but i came out in a forceful way of
trying to actually change them. I had to
learn that people can’t change people, only God can. We can provide the
inspiration and the tools, but ultimately it’s up to that
person and God to make those changes.
I’ve always wanted to see the good in people and watch them
reach their full potential. I can tell
God is working on me to be in inspiration to others. As I am constantly praying and asking for his strength and
guidance to do what I’m supposed to do. I want to be molded into that woman He wants
me to be.
I can say I am not perfect but I am happy and I am going to
choose to stay that way. Every day is a gift and I am thankful for the ones
I still communicate with and choose to be around. Family is family, whether
they are in the blood line are not; we all come from GOD anyway.
I also think accepting our children for who they become and not forcing them to be who we want them to be, could be beneficial. When they get older, they will remember the things we taught them to guide them on the right path. So when they do fall off or get side tracked, those words we instilled into them will come right on time to pull them back on track.
So anyways, accept yourself, your children and those who you surround yourself with and always do it with LOVE!!!
