GOT Advice

Thursday, September 5: Pass on some useful advice or information you learned and always remembered. 

I sort of hate advice. I feel like everyone gives a whole lot of it and most of the time its not what you want to hear. Its probably a lot more important to just live life and figure it out as you go, but I definitely don't do that. Being as most people in my life don't hesitate to weigh in on your life its hard to choose just one piece of advice to reflect on. Instead I am going to pass on some wise words from George R. R. Martin...

“Bran thought about it. 'Can a man still be brave if he's afraid?'

'That is the only time a man can be brave,' his father told him.” 

I written a couple times about my struggle to be brave and this just really nails it. That and the fact that GOT is just awesome.

Be brave. Winter is coming.

Love, love, love

Day 4, Saturday: Favorite quote (from a person, from a book, etc) and why you love it

Today's topic is a challenge. There are so many good quotes out there that make quite the impact depending on when you hear/ read them. Here is one of my favorites.

Via. 

I tend to have little patience for people who over dramatize small things and focus on the negative. I'll be honest,  I am just as guilty for doing this as the next person. I think I was the queen of being dramatic when I was younger. However, I grew up and worked on it. I realized that we can only control so much of things and that is what you need to focus on. 

It's important to empathize with people. Everyone deserves to feel what they are going through and to not hide from their pain. Acknowledge it. Just always remember to keep things in perspective. Feel for other people how you want people to feel for you. Life is hard. Some days it gets harder. We choose how to handle hard situations. 

Love, love, love

Something That Makes Me Uncomfortable

Day 3, Friday: Things that make you uncomfortable

 

I hate to be one of those negative people that is always complaining about things but I have quite a few things that make me uncomfortable. However, I will only focus on one to spare you.

 

One of the thing that makes me most uncomfortable is when people use the R word.

Every time I hear some say the R word I immediately cringe inside and blush. I look around nervously to see if anyone else heard and to make sure people aren't associating me with what just happened. 

 

When the R word is said its an instant mood killer. Most people stop immediately what they are doing and start looking at their feet. Some people laugh nervously at the situation. And of course there is always that one person who openly laughs because they also use the R word. That person also makes me uncomfortable.

 

I know not everyone intends to be rude when saying it but it is incredibly disrespectful to casually say "Well that is just R*******." The thing is, you never really know who you could be personally offending. We don't know people families, friends, personal stories and experiences.

 

Many people who use that word simply do it out of a bad habit. If that person is you, work on it.

 

Love, love, love
