"When a Person Hurts You"

When a person does or says something that hurts you, you have a choice. You have a choice to let it hurt you and affect the rest of your day, or to practice this skill of control and decide how what they did is going to make you feel, and what your reaction is going to be. Why can't you decide that hurt makes you realize that the other person is an idiot? could it be that this person is hurting you because they are hurting themselves so instead you feel pity for them. Remember, how you feel is an emotion that you have control of. Your reaction to that emotion will be based on exactly how much control you have. Every reaction has a consequence and sometimes that consequence will hurt you a lot more than the person that hurt you.

"Bad Things Are Going To Happen To You"

The reality is that bad things are going to happen to you. Some of these things you will learn from and they will possibly give you a better understanding of life and your place in the world. Other things will happen that make no sense at all because someone caused it to happen, or in some cases a terrible accident occurred. You may not grow stronger from these things; this pain will probably hurt terribly and scar your soul to the core. Hurt when you need to hurt. Hate when you need to hate, but forgive when you need to forgive. God will give you more than you can handle, for if he didn't - would you still need him; call out to him? Pray to him? 

Bad things will happen, but so many good things will too.......
