I used to be set in my ways.
I fight wanting to stay set in old ways.
Take, for example, my sports. There are certain commentators I like. I have watched them for years.
I never cared for new commentators. I didn’t want to give them a chance. I knew it wasn’t fair. I was used to what I was used to.
I told myself to give new folks the chance I have been wanting the world to give to me.
I have been forcing myself to not put folk in a box. I told myself to stop predetermining how I think they will be. To just let them BE! I told myself I would NOT judge them. Because of their age. Or, by MY perception of how much they may or may not know.
I have been enjoying things from THEIR perspective. I am finding new enjoyment by doing this.
I have been working on doing this in as many areas as I can.
It has been refreshing to SEE the good in others and not the what in the fresh hell is that?!π³
Life is short. Yes, we need to hold ourselves and each other accountable for our stupid. We also have to allow room for each other’s stupidity. πβ₯οΈ
Be encouraged. If no one has told you today: I love you.
