Lessons to be Learned

Do you ever look at your "On This Day" on Facebook? It's really interesting to see how fast time goes, where you were at in your life x amount of years ago, and some of the silly things you probably said. 

There's also an app (TimeHop) that combines all of your social media outlets to show you what happened on this day x amount of years ago.

I think from here on out, I will post something I find in my "On This Day" on Thursdays...should be interesting! :)

There's one that stuck out to me that I posted on this day two years ago. 

I believe that I certainly forget this quote that I stated two years ago.

I wouldn't say that I have a large amount of difficult people in my life or that I have had a large amount. I have had a "few." Yes. But if you were to ask me how I felt about these people, my most common reply would be that I wish them well. I really have taken a lesson or two from these "people" and moved on.

I don't know when it clicked (two years ago), but I was very happy to reread this post this morning.

I think over the past two years, I have chosen to exclude anyone that I found "difficult" in my life instead of letting them contaminate my thoughts. "Out of sight, out of mind." It's hard to remember sometimes, but we are our own worst enemies when it comes to thinking and overthinking. If we continue to dwell on stuff that bothers us without taking action on it, then we are setting ourselves up for the downfall of the situation.

I hope you can bring yourself back to focus and realize that in every situation there is something to learn. It's human and healthy to feel upset, annoyed, irritated, etc. but learn from it and continue to get better and think how you will handle it if it comes up again.

End preach. ;)
