Life is very interesting. In my 31st year, I am learning lessons about trust…… trusting other people……trusting myself.
People do things in Life that we never thought they would do and sometimes other people’s actions cause others pain.
Placing trust in people is a gamble. Having too much faith in people can lead to hurt.
When I make mistakes about judging people’s character, I can’t help but second guess my own mind. How can I be so wrong about someone I love and have spent so much time with in Life?
How can people turn their backs so easily on one another?
My Father told me I am naive, that I give people too much credit to think that everyone will be as good to me as I treat them in Life.
“There are a lot of bad people in Life. Many, many bad people who won’t change just because you show them kindness.”
As evidenced by recent events, I couldn’t argue with him, I had to lower my head and second guess my thoughts on how positivity can be shared so that Life can be better and more happy.
I had to reevaluate my entire Life approach.
It makes me sad and brings me to a place in my mind that is a hopeless grey area.
However, strength has to prevail and optimism will reign over negativity . Although I can’t control other people’s actions, I can control my own and I can lead by example and not give up hope.
During one of my Life growing spurts , where I am learning hard lessons that are testing my faith, endurance and strength, I can’t help but think of a special friend in my Life.
One of my good friends has been with me every step of the way during this difficult phase in my Life.
She extends her wisdom and compassion and she listens when I need to talk.
She watches me from close and even afar to see if I am keeping in control of my mind.
She genuinely cares for me and worries if I will be ok each day.
She is a kind person, who consistently goes out of her way to help other people. She is non-judgmental and never thinks she is better than anyone.
If you aren’t a jerk, she loves all people the same and I watch her help change people’s lives for the better, every single day.
She has a great energy about her that comes from having a beautiful soul. She doesn’t even know her full potential or how good she truly is – a top notch person.
She has a rare beauty that shines only from people who share their beautiful Life gifts selflessly and eloquently.
So when my Life is falling apart around me and everything about being a positive leader seems to be harder each day, I look to my friend and draw strength.
There are good people in the World and I am lucky that she can help me to hold faith.
She is younger than me by 8 years and I look forward to helping teach her and share lessons I have learned that will help her preserve a good spirit.
No one should ever take that away from another person; as a true good spirit is one of the most beautiful Life gifts.
So in my time of doubt, I thank my friend for leading by example and being kind. She gives me hope that people can be good and stay good.
All we can do is what we can to be kind, sincere and cause as little harm as possible.
Thank You Friend, in a way, you are saving my Life.
