We are not our mistakes.

"We all make mistakes, have struggles, and even regret things in our past. But you are not your mistakes, you are not your struggles, and you are here NOW with the power to shape your day and future." -Steve Maraboli

Last week, for some reason or another, it was call people out day.  Whats ironic about that, is I have no place to do so even if their trasngressions were directed at me.  I couldn't sleep that night because I kept going over and over again in my head second guessing myself, and wanting to continue to cling to people who really shouldn't be in my life.  

What I am sure of, is that it is entirely impossible to have problems with multiple people simultaneously without there being a problem within yourself.  I have said this to my friends on several occasions and now I have to realize that there is a problem lying within me.  I don't know what it is though, so I haven't any clue on what path to take to still this beast in me.  I am on the search though, I just want to be a better person.  I want to be "meek" &I am striving towards that.

Meek is strength under control.  Humility, humbleness, kindness, leadership, honestly, slow to anger, patient.  People mistake meek with weakness, and that is entirely false.   It is strength to think before you speak, act on what you believe, and refrain yourself when tempted. 

 In a sense, its mental and emotional power, immense power, subtract ego and pride because those who are meek treat others as equals and believe it.  They are even the best leaders without treating others as inferior.  I want to be meek, and judging by my outburst of anger last week I know I am far from that.  I am not my mistakes though, I am merely growing from my experiences.  I've learned from them and thus will refrain from repeating them.  A mistake is different from deliberate decisions that are later regretted.  I know that. 
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.  As far as the think side goes, that correlates with my beliefs and I need to tweak my actions to be more in tune with my beliefs.  Or should I say ideas, for they are always changing.  Lets see where life takes me.
