Telling someone some news that they weren’t hoping to hear can be a challenge. It’s like tearing a bandaid off your skin, sometimes it just good to get it over with. Making choices and decisions in life can mean disappointing people you love, but ultimately it’s your life and you have one shot at it. Life can be full of surprises that can make you happy and sad at the same time. Receiving news you weren’t expecting can break your heart or lift you up. In the case where you love someone you are sharing something they didn’t want to hear it can be difficult but you have to trust things will be alright in the end.
When you love your family and friends you want to share the good and bad things in your life. Sometimes good things in your life will mean not very good for others so then it gets tough. One needs to remember that it’s your life and you can’t live it for anyone else. When you are married, attached, committed to someone then there is an added dimension to your situation you have to abide by the fact you are not alone and its joint decision that needs to be made. You just hope for peace and understanding through it all and perhaps reconciliation when needed.
This article about Christianity speaks to me because the messaging of my faith can get crazy sometimes and it just looks like we are all mad about something. It’s not how any of it should work.
This is a great flick that shows us what goes on inside us all and in particular Riley a young girl who has her life turned upside down due to a family move. Amy Poehler, Bill Hader, Mindy Kaling, Lewis Black and Phyllis Smith provide voices for this Pixar presentation.
Adulting and even braining (using your brain) is hard. Unfortunately it never stops…well maybe when you retire or something. It is OK to take a rest from the whole being mature thing for a moment. However that moment is very fleeting and you have to resume. Tragedy.
I find it interesting that people say certain things are destroying our country when in reality the things they defend do much greater harm. The people who complain a lot are the ones who see others getting the rights and privileges they have exclusively enjoyed. People feast on fear of things that are different and we all know what fear can do to a person. Yes things aren’t the way they used to be and change is a fact of reality.
We pick the wrong fights about things that really don’t matter in the grand scheme of things. I am not big on doomsday but prefer to have hope for a brighter tomorrow. Fear not is a common theme throughout scripture and maybe we should just chill out. Maybe we should work to be better and not bitter when we don’t get our way. My friends everyday is a new opportunity to make things better for everyone, not just a select few. The freedoms you have are the same freedoms people are struggling for elsewhere. Yes there are people who seek to do us harm but the best way to counter that threat is to live our lives and to share love, not hate.
Things aren’t all that bad. Don’t worry, be happy as Bobby McFerrin once said.
