You know that feeling that you get when you have tried your best but it just isn't enough? I have faced it many times and over come it. I have found myself in that spot again...but I will overcome it again!
I heard someone that I love recently say that feelings are not real. While I think they cloud our judgement I say feelings are real and that God gave us the ability to have and show emotion. And to say...I am here and I DO matter. I AM important. My thoughts DO matter and my feelings DO exist!!
Now am I saying that we should react on our feelings the moment that we feel them..no, it is important to wait and think about it. Because yes, sometimes emotions do cause us to react poorly without thinking. We need to step back and ask ourselves the important questions, the hard questions to answer. Then once we have done that we can react in a calm manner that will cause a better reaction by the person that you are confronting.
We are all human...we all make mistakes. We should all find forgiveness in our hearts and share the love that we have in there with all that are around us.
It is not always easy to say "It's ok, I forgive you." But it is important to do if we all want to grow as a person. And you have to forgive your self for things that you have done that you do not like. We don't all have to agree, that is the great part about being individuals. It allows us to react differently and to think differently and to disagree with someone else's thoughts.
I know that I am not always right (though I would like to believe that I am) but I would hope that I am not alone on the feelings thing. And that maybe, just maybe, someone would agree with my thought process.
Important strong words I have found and would like to use more: Love, Hope, Forgiveness, Compromise, Pride and Trust.
