Recently I went over a few lessons from the last twenty years. Today I have decided to exam a few of them. I have trouble focusing so having the lessons to look back on is a good way to focus my energy right now. Let's begin.......
Lesson One. People will assume anything they want you just have to let them.- People have a tendency to want to believe that everyone shares the same beliefs, traditions, joys and sadness they do. This is not the case but it the assumption is fact, you learn to live with it. Well, for the most part. There will be times the assumptions make you angry when they do not take the hint you don't share the same beliefs they do.
Lesson two. Living Your Life By Your Beliefs Will Offend Some People.- It doesn't matter what you believe someone is going to be offended to the point they either shut you out of their life or attempt to force the things they believe down your throat. It is not enough to share what they believe with you but they might find the need to tell you what you need. That need of course coincides with whatever it is they want you to believe. All you can do is move on if they cannot respect you enough not to shove what they believe down your throat. It is not always comfortable to be the one standing out from the crowd but it shows you how strong you can be when you have no other choice.
Hard to Swallow
The lessons that come with assumptions and living by your beliefs can be difficult. The goal is to remember that it is about your peace and your peace alone. This is not to say that people will not try to tell you that you can be happier. They will. I've come to the conclusion that they are not happy with the lives they are leading and do not see how anyone else could be.
The Conclusion?
Yes, there is a conclusion to everything. Nothing in this life last for eternity, if it did we would all be thousands of years old acting like teenagers. No one has to like you, all anyone has to do is their job and take care of their responsibilities. You can't make anyone do any of those things. The best thing that you can do is to live your life and not worry about those who do not share your beliefs.
What has living your beliefs cost you? Do you ever worry that you will lose someone because of your beliefs?
