I can remember my mom raising me to “never judge, always accept everyone the way they are, and be open minded to everyone that I interact with”. We have raised our boys the same way. I will give a pat on my back to know that so far our boys especially Sport has really lived up to that. He doesn’t care about age, color, shape, size. He is the kid on the block that will make a game for EVERYONE to play including Adults at anytime. Gosh I love him! A couple weeks ago he tried to surprise me by wearing a tie to school for his school pictures and also concert. He didn’t care that he was the only, I repeat ONLY one in the school wearing a tie but it was also about 1 foot too short (oh my!) But he kept the chin up, huge smile and didn’t care. That’s my boy!!! I was speechless and will say YES that was a surprise but when I noticed he didn't care what people thought and did it just for me I also decided I didn't care what anyone though.
I am boggled by so many that surround me that chose to dwell on the negative and almost thrive on making others feel bad about themselves or how they think/feel. When someone smiles they want to know why? When they hear someone got a raise/bonus, they want to get more or claim it should’ve been there’s. Why is life so competitive?!? Whatever happened to people really being happy for someone? I don’t understand how people can have such strong feelings about someone, without really ever trying to get to know them. Instead of trying to see the good in a person, they assume that they are up to no good. I have made a promise to myself to not lose sleep over people such as that. I am who I am. If you have to be better than me then go ahead, but the fact is you don’t even really know me.
