Do you think I'm wrong if..........

Do you think I'm wrong because I've :

A) Stopped having time for other people's garbage?

B) Started telling people what I think because they've started to drive me nuts?

C)Have stopped taking things for granted and started living each day as if it were my last?

I've asked this because so many people have been up in arms about my new attitude. This is a new year and I want it to be wonderful.

What changes have you made to begin this new year?

Ex, I don't think you're wrong at all. It's been said so many times that when a person starts to change, even if it's for the better, some people won't appreciate that change. I'm going through the same thing right now. I have absolutely NO TIME for anyone or anything that threatens to steal my peace of mind. That includes family and friends. I don't want any negative karma around me at all.

As far as changes for the new year, I'm living for Ideal. I have made so many sacrifices in the past for others, I'm going to sacrifice for ME this year.

When I started my journey into becoming more spiritually aware of myself and started to change, many people had negative attitudes about it. But you know what? I just kept on doing and growing and they finally left me alone. I was determined to grow into myself and not become who others thought I should be. I can't stand gossip; I don't like "mess"; I speak my mind even when I am the only one on the left side. I was called stuck up, insensitive and selfish. But, that did not and has not stopped me. Many people don't realize negative energy slows you down to a snail pace. So, I say keep doing what you're doing and like the old gospel song says, "I ain't gonna let nobody turn me around."

My sweet sisterfriend, with God's love and guidance, wrong should not be in your vocabulary! God states there will always be trial and tribulations!!! With regards to your change of living the day as if it were you last. Matthew 6:34 "So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Today's trouble is enough for today" -NRSV... Just a little something for you to think about..'
