Everyone needs a reminder every now and then. If you aren’t who you want to be today, try harder for tomorrow. Forever trying to be the best human I can be.
Happy people don’t go around intentionally making others miserable. They just don’t. They don’t tear people down, pick fights, or create drama where there is none to be made. It’s sad really the amount of energy most spend trying to tear someone apart. Don’t be that person.
Sad people do sad things. The end.
I used to love a clap back, and I just wasn’t capable of not “winning” and proving my point. I used to respond to negative comments, today I ignore it ALL. What was I engaging on a negative comment for? I wasn’t going to change someone’s mind. You see, this can’t and won’t happen until someone is ready for it to. I’m doing exactly what they want. This isn’t revenge. This is me continuing the “cycle.”
I don’t try to get back at people anymore. It’s such a waste—of time, of energy, of my thoughts, and honestly, I choose to aim higher.
I’m gonna choose grace and I’m gonna chase gratitude. I’m gonna encourage and I’m gonna lift up and I can’t do that if I get down on your level.
I’m gonna do what God’s asked me to do and I’m gonna keep my thoughts on heaven, which is exactly where they belong.
I hope you’ll follow suit and let it go because there is absolutely no happiness to be found in anger, bitterness, division, and hate. None. Maybe they really hurt you, intentionally or unintentionally. Maybe they were really in the wrong and maybe they don’t deserve goodness, but you do, and goodness is found in forgiveness. You deserve to let it go.
Life is so short, and it’s so easy to waste it dwelling on nonsense. Spread light, and if other people don’t like it, toss them some cheap sunglasses and just keep on shining.
