Inward

Thristina Woodhams

I recently heard something that someone said about me. To say the least it took me by surprise because I had no idea this person felt like that. It upset me for the simple fact that I have spent many years working on myself. I have spent time looking inward and trying to accomplish a wiser person within my own heart and mind.

If you stop to think about it not very many people can do that. Most people spend their life thinking that they are right in all situations. Most humans don’t try to look inward before responding outward. I was part of those humans, and still am most days but I have made efforts in the right direction.

The younger me would confront that person and probably start a fight. As time has passed. I have realized my time is valuable, and with the longevity of human life being as short as it is, I decided I will not spend time on things that take away from my happiness. I figured that upset feeling will pass and I will forget the crude judgment. Because I know who I am and I know what I’ve become. There is no need to follow up with others and their onions. Let them stay in attendance with their own negativity.

Today I want to be better than tomorrow. I want yesterday’s fallacies to be but a memory in my future. I have never stated now nor will I ever state that I am perfect. But I have perfectly propelled myself into the future with an open mind. The only thing I’ve asked of you is don’t pretend that you know me today if you knew me yesterday. And please don’t think for one second you’ll know me tomorrow if you continue to judge me on the past.

Thank you it’s all those people in my life who have always seen the best in me even when I was at my worst. I see you, I appreciate you and I love you!
