The Social Outcast

Hello, everyone! I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend! I have been very busy, so hopefully this post will make up for my absence.

My dear mother has been following my blog, and made a great comment a couple posts ago, which got me thinking. Read the post Here. What she made me think about was the concept of forgiveness. She reminded me that, although I have been through quite a bit, there is plenty to be learned from the regrettable moments in my life. If I went through my entire life in ‘survival mode’ as she puts it, I am likely to lose out on many opportunities, and many great relationships.

I think that this is a great thing for everyone to remember; identify what went wrong in a specific incident, do your best to come to terms with it, learn from it, and move on. Don’t get stuck on all the hurt and pain in your life, because then you’ll be stuck for good. I can’t think of anyone who hasn’t had to deal with their share of ‘rough patches’ throughout their life, so this applies to everyone. If we all got tripped up every time something bad happened, we would be ‘tripping’ our entire life, and it is entirely possible that we will land flat on our face.

Long story short, recover from a stumble just in time to catch your stride, and before you fall to a grinding halt.

One more thing:  Anyone else think it would be a great idea to have my mother guest blog for The Social Outcast?
