The Act Of Restitution

When I forgave you, and I forgave myself; it was a good thing. And the most wise thing that we could have done, was to start off from the very beginning, not from where we left off. There's no sense in a resurrection, if you are going to crucify over and over again. When trust was broken, you were forgiven, and you were given another chance to show you could be trusted; you start fresh, from the beginning. Don't ask to be trusted, if you are going to break it again, repeatedly. It bruises the heart. And you were willing to lose, to sacrifice the person you said you loved and cared for---for what? For nothing. Who are you giving up on--all because you are dealing with some aggression. Think about it. ♥

New Start

There's a lot to be gained, much to learn through temporal pain, and could possibly be the key to finding extended, long-term happiness. When the time comes to move on, a mistake most people make is not being attentive of what to look for, instead they learn what to avoid. The key is to focus on what’s most important, seek acceptance, and let your experiences make you a better person. In the event you find you're still struggling, hurting from your past, perhaps it's because you have yet to receive what you need, and/or know in order for you to move forward. It's not so much about you learning life's experiences for the sake of appearing intelligent; seek wisdom and simply apply them to your life. Try not to make the same choices, decisions repeatedly over and over again, and stop calling them a mistake, they're not a mistake, the problem is you haven’t learned yet. Is the story still the same for you, sad? Stop taking experiences for granted. Maybe it's time you begin to take full responsibility. Whatever it is that you're doing must change. Everything we go through in life pretty much has something to gain, to learn, to build our strength, and mold us into the person we're purposely meant to be. Take your experiences and gain strength, courage from them, let it build your confidence, look fear in the face, face your giants, and tell yourself; if I made it through that, then I will most assuredly make it through the next element that comes my way.

Taking Control:

Let's face it; you can’t always take things too personal.  Others actions and words shouldn’t be modified to walk warily, quietly around your feelings. There comes a point where one must learn how to take and accept the truth for what it is. Creating unnecessary assumptions and manipulating words, situations are nothing more than an new way for you to lie to yourself and possibly those who surround you. Learn how to discern when you’re in a certain "mood”, how to check your attitude, and when to draw back. No-one should have to walk on pins and needles because the other is being entirely too sensitive. Catch yourself before you say and do when you’re extremely infuriated. Being lead with your feelings can quickly turn into you being faced with regrets.  Anger is a strong feeling of displeasure, which then leads to malice and arrogance. It doesn't take much intelligence, thought to be angry; which explains why most of what a person says when angry sounds pretty much ridiculous. When you don’t like something it does not justify that everybody doing it is wrong. Never apologize for being you. If honesty is what you want, then honesty is what you get. Exclude all complaining, don't let it be a part of what you do twenty four seven. Allowing your emotions get the best of you or crying a river is not always necessary when you're being faced with elements. Remember, when asking somebody else to change, it also implies and requires you to prepare yourself to do the same. Be willing to give as much as you take. Not everything said or done is to be taking to heart. Be in tune with your emotions, not controlled by them.
