The Upside of Irritation
Things That Annoy Us
Things That Annoy Us
There will always be factors and people that we cannot control; how we respond can determine the quality of our lives.
Weddings, funerals, birthdays, baby showers, bridal showers – any cause for a celebration or time of sorrow in general tend to bring the good, the bad, and the ugly side of people. You will find those people that will rejoice with you during the good times, and those who will just plain not like the fact that your life is going in a good direction. Those people who would much rather see you wallow in misery, than smile because things are finally going good for you.
However, with that said, you will also find those people that will be your champion, cheering you on with your decision. Happy to finally see something awesome happening you. Those who even though may not be where they want to be; are happy that at least someone near and dear to them is. My life is by no means perfect, but it is exactly how it should be at this point in my life according to God. I have been through many ups and downs, heartaches and heartbreaks, financial stress and blessings and with each good and bad, perseverance and God by my side is all I have every had to help me weather any storm.
This quote that came today just reminded me that I cannot control people’s thoughts, actions, or feelings. What I can control is how I respond to things. I can’t live my life feeling annoyed by someone else’s actions, thoughts, and opinions. Instead, I choose to continue living my life the way God sees fit.
Well-said. Well-said. God knows what you need. Cherish those who treat you well and pray for those who don't. You are exactly where you need to be! Blessed!
