every day is an opportunity. a chance to go out there and DO something. i, like most people, have made mistakes in my life. but i choose to take these irreversible mistakes and use them as a pushing off point. i leave my house each day with a smile on my face and some hope in my pocket. sounds mighty optimistic, and it is most of the time. but there are those days where i just don't want to go on, and the one thing that pushes me is the possibility of making a change, for the better. this change could be something as simple as to make someone smile. i want to be like this. i want to better myself, become a happier person, a more open and caring person.
everyone has something they aren't proud of, something they regret, something they keep to themselves. but condemnation is not going to miraculously change what one person disagrees with about another person.
it comes pretty natural to a person to look down upon someone that has "done something" percieved "wrong".
why doesn't it come natural to find out the story? to find out what actually went on? to open up and try to put yourself in another person's shoes?
we all have growing to do. we all can better ourselves.
maybe, instead of trying to attack other people for what they are doing wrong, we should begin with ourselves and try to better ourselves.
