- Respond with Love - This is my latest project, and I am terrible at it. When someone starts throwing stones and/or rude words, all I wanna do is bash some heads in. I've been known to throw a punch or two (Sorry, Nicholas), but my specialty is flinging insults. I could destroy a heart in a second. I think P!nk said it best, "I am capable of really anything; I can cut you into pieces; When my heart is broken." However, my Mama has said again and again respond with love, turn the other cheek. I am trying hard to shut my mouth and try this out.
- Trash in, Trash Out - The things you surround yourself with will affect how you act. Music is especially pervasive I've noticed. I try to avoid angry music for this very reason. (Except for Alanis Morissette; I need her.) People also have a huge affect on how you act. Any negatives that are in your life will translate into your actions and words. I try to keep things positive and as un-trashy as possible for this very reason.
- It's a lot Easier to Sink - Lesson number three....You're a lot more likely to be dragged down to someone else's lower level than elevating them to yours. I have a bad habit of thinking that people will be made more honest by my honesty or more loving by my love. While this is true to a point, a tiger doesn't change their stripes over night.
- Happy Attitude - If you tell yourself it is going to be a good day and see everything in a positive light, it will be. :)
Seeee, I listen when you talk, Mama. Thank you for your ever patient guidance and love. <3
