I have a question...
How long are you going to hang on to that?? How long are you going to let it take over your life?
Some people don't know how to handle hard times. They don't know how to cope with life's difficulties. And when something happens, no matter how small, they fall apart.
To some, hard times could just be a petty argument, a disappointment, or an innocent mistake. These people are unable to see those things for what they are and they totally take them to heart.
They treat small infractions as if they are tragedies and they just can't seem to get past them. They allow these issues to ruin relationships and cause divisions.
Why??
Are we really that weak of mind and spirit that we can't let small things go and move forward with our lives?
What if something REALLY tragic happens?
How are we EVER going to cope with the real tragedies of life if we can't handle small arguments and disappointments? How can we face our real trials if we fall apart when someone disagrees with us? Or when things don't go the way we want or expect them to?
We've got to grow up and get a backbone!
We've got to build some spiritual fortitude to know that we can endure anything that comes our way. To know that the weapons that are formed against us will NOT prosper!
How will we ever have successful relationships and marriages if we fall apart every time we have an argument? To be successful, we have to forgive, let it go, and move forward.
Only those who are weak and immature hold on to small infractions and treat them like mountains.
Only the weak hold grudges and treat people they love like enemies.
Those of us who are strong in will and mind see life for what it really is - a series of ups and downs that are meant to strengthen and refine us.
We take responsibility for ourselves instead of constantly pointing fingers at others. We own up to our mistakes and we apologize for them. We forgive those who have hurt us.
We make amends and we proceed with our lives - the little bit of time we have been given to spend with those we love.
So, how long are you going to hold on to it? When are you going to let it go?
Because you're missing out on life and love while dwelling in your pettiness and self pity.
And you're only hurting yourself.
