Life's Lessons
1) We need to be more concerned about how we're treating others than how others are treating us
2) About friendship issues, it's so much easier when I focus on treating people right than looking for friends. I shouldn't spend my time looking, I should spend my time being. Being who I am but not forgetting about the needs of others...
3) Great expectations: I need to expect more out of life and what God has for me...There are some things in life I think happen for other people but not for me. Took a while for me to realize this. I know that God loves me and He has a lot planned for me. I can expect the best in terms of a job or material item. However, expecting the best in terms of a relationship doesn't come easy. I guess at the back of my head since I've had several go wrong...George Kastanza's "It's not you it's me" excuse is so true for me. While talking to a friend the other day about some guy, I noticed that I tended to lean towards the idea that he couldn't possibly like me. After all it's easier to expect the worst and if it is the worst it leaves little room for disappointment. But maybe this idea has somewhat been tied up to an underlying sense that I just don't have it all together for the guy I see as the good guy to like me...Well, I don't want to just settle for anyone but just because of my imperfections I feel out of the league of particular people. It's some strange place between believing I am valuable to God but not believing I am good enough for others. That doesn't make sense actually because if I do believe my worth in God, I shouldn't have a problem with my worth in others??? It's kinda confusing. I can't seem to figure it out. Perhaps my problem simply lies in believing that God has the best for me. Perhaps I'm focusing more on people than on God's favor...perhaps I'm focusing more on situations to spell out my life than on God to do just that for me...need to think a little more on this one. Maybe I am thinking too much. If you have any thoughts let me know.
back to studying...
have a blessed day!
