I have a hard time admitting I am wrong. My mom tells me I justify things to always have them fall in my favor. This comes from insecurity. We don't like being told we are wrong, especially me. I don't like disappointing people either. Maybe this is why my grades matter so much, or why I cried getting my first speeding ticket, or feeling so guilty when I treat my friends poorly, or when I get angry at myself for not being able to dance like I used to.
I'm learning that mistakes are part of life. How else are we supposed to learn? But this doesn't give us an excuse to act in whatever way we please. Our actions affect the people around us. I've always been one for the "do what makes you happy" life. I still think that's important, but I've learned, people are much more important. I've learned this the hard way. I need to focus on othes more, and step away from the self centered life I tend to live at times. This is all part of discovering ourselves and being human.
I'm blessed with amazing friends. Friends who would be willing to do anything for me. I take that for granted much too often. I just hope it's not too late. I also have a loving father in heaven whom I also take for granted at times. It's amazing how much he continues to care, even when I don't do my part. He's put some amazing opportunities in my life at the moment, and I hope I can please him. It's going to take diligence and a change in my attitude.
This is why in grateful for forgiveness. It gives me the chance to try and be a little better each day.
So friends, thanks for putting up with me. It means more than you know. I'm trying my best.
