Sometimes, we try too hard to get to the greener grass on the other side of the fence ….

In the process, we end up in trouble…

And when you find yourself in trouble and you’re stuck in a situation that you can’t get out of, there is one thing you should always remember…

Not everyone who shows up…

Is there to help you!

Enjoy your day. ~ K

There was a time in my life  that if you pissed me off. My reaction would be to say “fuck you” and remove you from my life. There was nothing you could do or say to make you forgive me. I wouldn’t care how close I was to you or how much I loved you. I would hold to the feelings of hate forever. One day, my Grandma Snookie (R.I.P.) noticed that I was upset about something and she asked me what was my problem. I told her was very upset about something a friend had did to me. And how was removing that person from life. Grandma Snookie looked at me like I was stupid and said, “Keithy, you really need to quit acting like an asshole.  If I was to take everything that have you done in your life that made me mad. You would have disown you a very long time ago.”  She went on ranting until it was time for her to leave for bingo. But, to sum up our entire conversation. She told me that people are always going to disappoint you. It’s how you react to the situation that’s important. I was told I could be a man who is walking around mad at everyone who pissed me off. Or a man of God who can forgive people for what have been done to me and move on with my life. I chose option #2. It was one of the best decision  that I ever made. I learn if someone upset you badly. You pray for them. You pray that God can touch their heart and soul. So that they can find some happiness and joy. I learn not to remove people from my life. Because God placed me in their life for a reason. I learn to speak about what was bothering me to the person who hurt me and it was their reaction that decided the outcome of the disagreement. I never cut the lines of communications from that person. Because, there are times where God will use you to help someone. No matter how much time has passed since you last talked to that person. The bottom line is learn to forgive because our Father and his Son…..always forgives you. Enjoy your day. ~ K

I’ve been seeing this quote on everyone’s page on Facebook lately. It’s true someone is going to cause you some pain during your lifetime. But, are they worth suffering for? The answer is ‘No”. When people hurt you that is not love. Love is supposed to be kind, understanding and unconditional. I cannot see myself suffering because I was in love with someone. If you are suffering in a bad relationship it is simply because you don’t love yourself. You have to love yourself before you can love anyone else. That is the number rule of love. So, before you let someone take through drama and heartache. The easiest thing to do is just let them go.
