My sister seems to regularly get into fights with friends over things that they have done that hurt her. It does happen, and it is sad, but the problem is that she regularly changes friends, sometimes over the smallest things. The only friends I can think of that she has maintained for long periods she either doesn't see often, or are overseas. This brings me to a hard lesson I had to learn when I was younger.
I've learned that no matter how hard you try you will eventually hurt people you care about, realize this and forgive those closest to you that hurt you knowing that sometime you will require forgiveness from them.
After not posting for a while I realised that the focus of this blog wasn't of real interest to me, and probably not much to other people either. After getting married, changing jobs, and a few other little things there was a seachange of sorts.
The focus not will be on simple one line statements the I've found, heard, or thought up. Things that express items I have learned over the past week.
Its something I used to do when I was younger but forgot and lost my archive, its an interesting set of memories to look back on, and eventually something I hope that will help my kids when they are older.
Then to start have two this week:
I've learned that it takes a strong person to stand up for what they believe, but it takes an even stronger person to stop, realize that they are wrong, and then change their mind in sacrifice of their own pride.
I've learned that the true mark of any group of people is what happens when things go horribly wrong, they either fight internally and implode, or band together to fight off whatever challenges come. The difference between those to outcomes is a testament to leadership.
