If someone is strong enough to bring you down... Show them you are strong enough not only to get back up, but smile and walk away...
Never allow those who bring you down to stay in your life to long... I have learned that some people are so miserable with their own life that they actually do/say hurtful things toward other people just so their life doesn't look so bad... It is amazing how if we helped each other, believed in each other we would create a better world...
There are those who flash their material things in front of everyone to try to show their happiness, when in reality their definition of happiness is completely wrong... We are so concerned with having the best of everything, keeping up with everyone else that we often leave who we truly are behind... Keeping up with Jones's is a big phrase, but you never truly know if the Jones family is truly miserable behind closed doors because they are so much in debt thanks to all the material things they have... Why can't we all just be content with being comfortable and having just enough?.. My husband definitely keeps me grounded, I am the one with the expensive eyes... Being a mother of four also limits my ability to have everything I want, but I am never denied the things that I need... I never try to keep up, because I don't know what everyone else had to do to get what they have... I may sometimes complain about all the things I wish I could have, because my husband and I work so hard... Then I look around and see how happy my husband and I are with each other, and how happy my kids are and I know I am in no short supply of blessings!
I would never change places with anyone, I am happy being me... For those who think I live simple, and without enough obviously does not see my life the same way I do... I am all about the love and happiness that surrounds me, not what I lack...
If we constantly look at what we don't have, we overlook the many things we do have...
