Redefining Yourself

So, I am not perfect.
I do not claim to be perfect and sometimes i think i am the meanest person i know.
 However, as a human being, I learned that just because you feel it, you don't have to express it. Just because you feel like it, you don't have to. Just because the majority are doesn't mean you have to be too. Sometimes my mind is cloudy, emotions wild and mood swinging to and fro. I would take offense at a fly buzzing. NK. (not kidding).
So, certain circumstances have inspired me to write about redefining yourself. It begins and ends with attitude. Many a times, the reactions we get are a reflection of one's attitude.
How do you approach people? How do you respond to them? Do you make them responsible for things they have no hand in? Do you take out your frustrations on innocent people? Many fallouts and various relational problems result from misplaced anger. The bible says, in your anger to do not sin  and also that for as long as it depends on you, you should try to live in peace with everyone. If you are a Christian, a born-again, tongue speaking, spirit filled individual, then you are obliged to live by example all the more. Many times i am tempted to react instead of respond, and i got to admit that sometimes i actually react instead of responding. Nothing good comes out of reacting. It is like pouring oil upon a fire.
 Someone once said,wisdom is not knowing when to speak, but when to not speak. I add, it is knowing when to respond. It is knowing when not to react, especially when you are overly provoked and agitated, such that you will regret what would come out of your mouth should you open it.

So, in redefining yourself, you want to begin with attitude. It hurts. It's not fair, but that is how you grow.

I am on the journey of redefining myself too... Be the change you want to see and remember, a better state begins with you because it takes two to tango.

Till next time ....
