LOD #2

#2. Judge a person on who they actually are, opposed to who you think they are.

      People need to understand that everyone is different in many different ways.  Do not make assumptions by the way a person looks or what you "hear" about them.  This only causes conflict and usually the assumptions are wrong.  Take time to get to know that person and what they're really about and if you have nothing good to say about that person then just rid that person from your life.  Assumptions cause frustration and stress no matter what side you are on.  If you do have an assumption about that person, try talking to that person about what you've heard and at least try to take that persons' word. You're ignorant, shelfish and down right ridiculous if you jude and assume.

LOD #1

So I thought for everyday for now I'm going to do a lesson of the day.  Heres number one!

#1.  Be the person who you are and who you want to be.
       
        We always seem to change ourselves to impress someone or to earn the right to be around another human being, but as I've learned for about the last year, no matter what circumstance, be yourself.  I've had a hard time sleeping and have been stressed about a lot of things the last year and have not had positive attitude towards things.  Obviously everyone has a tough day once in a while, but when you carry that frustration with you on your shoulders and family and friends notice a change in your lifestyle, thats when you know its bad.  That has been happening to me and its now time to change.  I've always been positive, fun and humble towards everyone and I haven't been like that for close to a year and I'm just no realizing it.  Having this attitude not only affects yourself but it affects the people you love and the opportunities you have.  I regret these attitudes and apologize to everyone, but time to "do me"!
