I am far
from perfect. I have done a lot in my life that I am not proud of. But with age
comes wisdom. I have come up short in a lot of areas, even in my friendships.
In the end I have learned from the past and have made strides to make up for my
wrong, for my missteps, my lies, my faults. And by the grace of God I have
emerged a better person. I had a conversation with my brother-in-law yesterday
that made so much sense. He said, "We all mess up. Owning your mess and
getting up from it is what shows our growth", I will be forty in a couple
of years and that conversation allowed for a cathartic and epiphanic moment
where this is what I took from it...
I cannot
change how anyone feels about me. Especially if I do not know what I did to
incite their disdain. If I leave here tomorrow there are people who will care
and there are those who will not. No matter what you do for someone they still
will find a reason to dislike you. Everyone does not what to see you win.
Happiness is not dependent on other people but dependent on how you let other
effect you.
So in
the end ... I live today for me and if I am blessed to see tomorrow, I’ll live
tomorrow for me also. My God will handle the rest. #imdone
