This is what I want to blog about this evening. After spending about 8 hours at my day job,working with the most trying people in Los Angeles,answering the most ridiuclous,most petty things,but it pays the bills so somehow you look past it.But for how long......
After work I went to a screening with a friend of mine.Great person.We saw a beautifully painful film titled,"The whistle blower".
This film moved me,and I don't cry in films but if I was sitting on my coach at home alone,my tears would be flowing.My heart broke for the characters in this film. You all need to see it.It puts your life in perspective.People always say well if there is a God then why does he let good people get hurt or why cancer, etc.I believe those angels are a reminder to check ourselves,when our heads are up our behinds.I know personally when I saw this film,I walked away feeling like a selfish,self absorbed human being,and I am not even close to that.We all do,me included get so caught up in our own personal fog,that we cannot see the world around us.How one word or emotion or attitude can change a persons entire day.I call it God's little reminders for me,when I have absolutely no patience left and I am behaving in an impatient manner to someone at work,then they say something nice or I find out something unfortunate,that's God kicking me in the shorts Little bit,and I snap right out of that selfish way.
In the past few days,with the people God has put into my life I have put a lot of things into perspective. Realizing things about myself and who I am,and not being afraid to own that,in a humble way. I feel today's society lacks common sense. We also take many things for granite.Should it be when you lose something that's when you realize how good you had it or could have had it?I don't think so.My friend said something that I very much needed to hear.He said,"I need to just be still". Yes,I do too as a matter of fact.
A woman at work today complained that she had to walk back to a department store to have something taken care of.Now instead of looking at the positive,like she has two legs,its a beautiful day,there is a beautiful fountain with a romantic bridge that takes you to that department store and there are starving children in Africa,nope she has to sit there and complain to me. People there are much bigger things out there.So I leave you with this advice.Be humble.Be slow to anger,and quick to patience.
At the end of the day will it matter? If it will then don't let the sun set with anger or disagreement. Always go to bed at peace,you never know what will happen the next day. Acknowledge the small things,in the end they will be the big things.
