Just Be Yourself
Life is not about being a saint. Have you ever heard the saying, “Don’t be too good and don’t be too evil?” It’s a fact. Those who try to live life in a way where they are too good end up being everyone’s doormat and those who end up being too evil end up being everyone’s target. Somewhere along these lines a balance must take place. I’m not saying to be a maniacal fiend that takes what he/she wants and runs, but I’m not saying to be a goodie two shoes that allows everyone to get away with anything either. Sometimes we find ourselves in situations that call for us to be tough. Where we have to administrative tough love or stand our ground for what we want. It’s best you go through life knowing that being mean sometimes is the nicest thing you can do for a person.
In my own life, I realized that often times certain people didn’t respect me when I was nice. They unfortunately would take it as some sign of weakness. I later came to find that it was better just to be myself. I realized that when I found myself wrestling with feelings of anger and I couldn’t shake it, it was better I just let it all out. After I started doing that the same people actually started to befriend me and respect me more. Ironic.
What is this stuff?
