Tip of the Iceberg

"You are not defined by someone's partial view of your life, your strengths, or your history. Their inability to see or appreciate the complete version of you only limits them, not you. Stand strong in your truth and purpose and continue being your bad ass, unapologetic self." ~Steve Maraboli~

Good evening dear ones. I have often run into situations where people will assume they know what I'm about, make snap judgments, or just decide they don't like me before truly knowing me. I have had people whisper to me their thoughts of someone else based on their looks, or the situation they are currently in. I, myself, have done the same thing, and I often have to remind myself that I don't know the whole situation. I have to remember there's more than one side to every story. Usually, there's 3, this side, that side, and the truth. I have to remember that I don't like it when people base their opinion of me, or my situation by what's on the surface, so sometimes I have to stop myself from doing it to someone else.

If you don't want to take the time to get to know someone, then don't make snap judgments about them and assume you know know all there is to know. Don't try to give your opinion about a situation, if you're not willing to hear someone out first. Before you stick your nose in someone else's business, ask yourself, 'does this affect me in any way?'

On the flip side, don't let anyone tell you that you are living your life the wrong way, especially if they know nothing of your past and how you got where you are. You have strength my darlings. You have courage, and a wonderful capacity to love. Please remember that you are more than any label society might put on you. You are more than a name, a number, or a race. You are more than just female, or male. Let those beautiful soul lights shine, and let love be your guide.

Be good to yourselves, and each other my loves. It costs nothing to show someone a bit of kindness. Be Kind, Be Peace, and Be Love. Yesterday is past and tomorrow isn't promised. Live and Love for today. -Live - Laugh - Love- Namaste
