Life gets more amazing as you get older. Why? Because you learn to love yourself. You learn that other people's opinions of you are none of your business. You learn that human beings are often wrong, therefore their opinion of you or the things you do, isn't what counts.
What counts is being able to sleep at night with a clear
conscience. What counts, is whether or not you chose to be kind over
being right. What counts isn't what others say about you, but how you
react to it. Did you take the high road? Did you remember that those
that talk about you usually don't even know you? Did you remember that
those that talk about you in negative terms, are probably pretty
miserable in their own lives?
What counts in this life, doesn't have anything to do with
other people. Not your parents, not your friends, nor your enemies. It
has nothing to do with your husband, your wife, your boss, or your
coworker. What counts in this life, is how you feel about yourself.
That's it. Pretty simple, isn't it? It took me years to really
understand that. All the young people that are on my friend's list are
intelligent, kind, loving, caring, sharing people.
No, life won't always be perfect, but you can always find
perfection in life. It's in the attitude. It's in the heart. It's in
the thankfulness and the grace. Life is amazing, simply because you are
in it...be well in that knowledge. Stay strong...in that wisdom.
If someone wrongs you, just remember, someone did that to
them. They weren't born that way...and feel compassion for how they are
choosing to live. More than anything else, just be thankful that YOU
don't have to live that way.
Life really is amazing. Don't ever let anyone take your joy away from you. It's your choice. Be strong in that knowledge.
