Just a bit of fustrations going on lately... I really enjoyed the service this morning at church. One of the things that really got me was being uplifting instead of always being down on people. As humans we tend to see the worst in people yet finding the blessings sometimes get a little hard to find. The upbeatness of people in the morning when you really didnt want to get out of bed. People that take their time in their decisions and when people dont agree with your decisions.
I am one of those that tend to give 100 percent at everything I do, especially work. I think that was my dad pounding it into my head. I have a hard time when I see others not doing the same. I am a early person and it fusterates me when others are late. I am a night owl and hate early mornings. So people oposite of me tend to grate on my nerves especially in the morning.
I am harsh on my son, when it comes to grades and responsiblities. He is so layed back and easy going. He is a really take your time and not rush type of person and in the mornings I have a really hard time with that. OKAY it drives me NUTS!!!
So where is this going? This week I am really going to try to relax a bit and go a bit more with the flow. See the beauty in others and just enjoy being around them. See the positives and focus on those. Maybe by doing that it can rub off on others.
Today sermon made me take a closer look on some of my faults and hopefully I can improve on those.
I have to admit that I am exactly like you when it comes to time. When someone tell me to be some place at a certain time, I will be there at least 5 minutes early and it grates on my nerves too when others can't be on time. There have been times where I try to be late to work only to find myself speeding to get there on time. What's up with that!!
