Hey GirlFriends!
So over the weekend I was thinking about issues that girlfriends can relate to and so I began to look over my own life. Recently, I had a situation arise that allowed me to see that life is ALL choices. Some choices we make and others are made by the people we choose to have in our lives. In relationships we are either building bridges or burning bridges.
I used to think that to like someone or not like someone was just natural or it just happened all by itself. This is not the truth. We determine in our own thoughts if we like someone or if we do not like the person based off of our thoughts around our experiences with that individual. It is my interactions with someone that will determine if I like them or not and vice versa. For example, if I hang out with a group of friends and someone says something that I disagree with or they do something i don't like and then it happens multiple times I may decide in that moment that I don't really like that person's approach and sum that experience with them up to a negative one. If I choose to I may walk away feeling as if I don't really like that person and may therefore create negative thoughts about them which will create similar future experiences with that person. So before you hop on the bandwagon to put someone on your blacklist or block consider this: Did I contribute to this negative experience in some way? Did this interaction impact my life in some majorly negative way? Can this person contribute to my life in the future? Is this person connected to others that I associate with? In spite of our differences can we agree to disagree? So the next time you react to someone by trying to block them take a moment to reconsider how can I rebuild this bridge and turn it into something positive.
