There has been times in my life where I get upset over insensitive, rude, and annoying people. In those instances I get totally wrapped up in rationalizing why they are wrong and why I am right. I would analyze things to death and try to make sense of why people are the way they are. I have invested so much physical and emotional energy into this that I could've written a book by now. I discovered something lately that brought a whole new meaning to my life. I realized that the way a person carry himself/herself is not my problem and I have no business trying to correct his or her ways. In trying to "show these people how I feel", I forgot that it's not really them that's the main issue.....IT'S ME!! Obviously i can't fix or stop people from being who they are. Instead of trying to work on other people, I should've worked on my own patience and tolerance level. Maybe it's being less sensitive and critical that I have to work on or maybe it's learning how to ignore stupid comments. Yea...It's SOOOO hard but you just have to suck it up somethings and just do it!! Maybe in this way, you will one day show that person how much you are trying to do the right thing by trying to love and honor God. Maybe in the future, that person will change because of your patience with him or her. In the past, I didn't have the free choice to walk away from my sins of holding grudges or being judgemental but now I do cause of Christ. I have a choice to choose to love instead of criticise. I have a choice to choose to see the best in people instead of seeing their flaws. It's so liberating to have the choice to walk away from things that has been hindering us all along.
