I am so thankful for the hard times in my life. I learn more about myself when times are tough than I ever will when theyre good. The truth is our life isnt about us, its about what we do and how that affects other people. Its Like a ripple effect. I accept the fact that my life isnt about me, except for the fact that I have goals and ambitions, and I often loose sight of what life is really about in the moments of that I am consumed with chasing my dreams. The truth is watching people bash Fallon Taylor for her past, infuriates me because I have been on the receiving end of the bashing, by social media mobs and the heartless ring leaders and the spineless followers! I can relate to her on a personal level. I may not agree with someones past actions, but I am mature enough to know that what someone did isnt who someone is. Ive been on the receiving end of bad dealings. But, I am thankful GOD has shown me how to be a forgiving person and how to not only forgive but to move on. I wont sign up to be screwed over again, but I also wont allow their actions to control me or make me bitter. I can forgive, and I can move on. I can also look past what people say about someone, at the whole picture. The lessons Ive leaned in life I want to share with you all who have taken the time to read this, because I hope that these lessons sink in to you the way they have me, because they changed my life.... (Not in any particular order) 1. Loyalty is priceless, especially in a world ruled by greed. 2. Always be honest, eve when it hurts you. Ive learned if youre around someone you cant be honest with then dont be around them. This includes relationships. If you have to lie to that person either got actions are wrong or theyre not understanding... And neither of those two things are okay. 3. What someone says about you has nothing to do with who you are, it just shows you who the person talking is on the inside. 4. Often the person pointing the finger first is doing so to deflect the attention off themselves. 5. There are two sides to every story, and often neither side is any of our business so why entertain our time with someone elses nonsense. 6. Being broke doesnt make someone a bad person. People who mention other peoples monetary status either do so because theyve only care about that person on a monetary level OR theyre broke too and it makes them feel better to tear someone else down to their same level..... 7. Hard work pays off, and hard work isnt always physical work. 8. Dont base someones worth on what other people say. Base their worth on how they make you feel about yourself when you walk away from them. 9. You know youre headed in the right direction when other peoples business and personal lives no longer entertain you and your not interested in concerning yourself with their lives. 10. If you love someone love them all the time. People go through tough times, and rough patches you dont run from life when it gets tough you beat it. Trust me I know this from experience. Life will beat you down, and it will keep you there... The only thing that can save you is you. So dont look To those around you to rescue you, you have to rescue yourself. Dont take it out on anyone else when shit gets bad... It is no ones fault, thats just life and it sucks sometimes... But be the kinda person who doesnt run from it and doesnt take the tough times out on anyone else... 11. What other people say about you is none of your business. 12. If someone will talk bad about other people to you, theyll talk bad about you to other people. This is a guaranteed fact! Because a gossip has no boundaries and no loyalty! Loyalty and respect are characteristics and its starts with yourself, someone who gossips doesnt even have respect for themselves - because if you respect yourself your too bust doing you to be worried about anyone else! 13. Birds of a feather flock together - if you find yourself in a group of people and you dont fit in - dont take that personal! It just means they arent your flock. But, dont try and change who you are for them. Be proud of who you are and just go find the flock you belong in! 14. The road to hell was paved with good intentions - you can have the kindest heart but if you cant follow through with what you set out to do, its still not good.... 15. Learn to listen to what people say without accepting it as fact. Sometimes people say things about people that simply arent true, even better sometimes people say things about people and even if its true it shouldnt be said... Ive learned to listen without accepting and to change the topic when it doesnt concern me. The greatest quote for this is Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people! 16. Life is short, and it really isnt about us at all. That is why I made this status. God has shown me that my life is about helping and inspiring others. Yes, I train race horses but that has nothing to do with who I am that is simply what I do. God also gave me a desire to be a life coach and the truth is that is probably my most important work. Ive been through a lot in 28 years. Ive been a bad person, Ive been a bitter person, Ive been a failure, but I went through all of that so I could see that in life we can over come anything... Ive over come not only my own short comings Ive also over come what life has thrown at me. Its all still a work in progress but daily I find more peace and happiness and I am living proof that no matter who you were, where your from, or what life throws at you - life is simply what you chose to make of it and you can over come anything.... Dont get me wrong some people will never ever forget who you were or where youve been, but the beauty if thats not your problem... What they think about you is really none of your business ;) God bless each of you tonight, I hope that you read this and you scroll away from this status a little stronger and that youre on your way to accomplishing everything youve set out to do, and that you turn to GOD and follow him because what he has in store for you is greater than anything you have in store for yourself! Do what you feel in your heart to be right — for youll be criticized anyway. Youll be damned if you do, and damned if you dont.
