Most of the time I tend to despise following the crowd; therefore, I shy away from New Year’s resolutions. After-all, I can create one ten days later or in the middle of a hot, high-humidity summer in the south, or another wherever and whenever.
Anyways, I was with a group of friends and we were talking about things we’d like to move towards in our every day lives. Its easy to tightly grasp bitter past events. You can either continue to hold on to them or you can release your kung-fun grip. We can let them slide into their place in our past. I believe this can apply to things that happened just seconds ago to things that happened years ago. Somethings are much harder than others for sure, nor do I understand everyone’s harder situation. I may try to empathize so very hard but I can never experience any event the same way some else did. I believe we are all connected because we are people but we are unique.
How I react to a situation is dependent upon the influences around me and how I’ve internalized those influences. I wanted to share this because it was both startling and awakening for me. What we do can heavily influence someone, whether we do something consciously or sub-consciously. We can change each others days so that it will be a day filled with sun.
So my idea is that I will be a blessing to people everyday. I will try to be conscious and think before I react in a situation. Will people be blessed by my actions?
