Yes, I am suppose to be researching for a paper and a project.
"Are you, are you doing your best here? Are you being the best that you can be?"-Michael Scott
This is on my mind today. And I can answer this with a no. I am never the best I can be, I'm never the best friend, daughter, sister, aunt that I can be. Lack of trying? Sure. I won't berate myself SO much. I do try and sometimes it fails. I do try to find the right path/choice/decision/etc and sometimes it's not black and white. Often times it isn't black and white.
BUT.
This is more about being compassionate. Its about taking the dollar out of your pocket that you're going to spend on something meaningless and giving it to that homeless person without regard of what they are going to do with it.
It's about calling the person up who's heart is breaking. Or sending a card. Giving a hug. Being there.
It's about being understanding when someone needs you to be. Realizing imperfection.
It's about forgiveness.
It's about not leaving people behind.
Vanquishing your pride.
It's about trying.
It's about looking past your own perspective and seeing it from someone else's. You may be right, but then again, you may be wrong. Or perhaps, you're both right or you're both wrong.
It's about love. About being a good person even if you're not a good friend.
It's about taking that leap you don't want to take and fixing what is broken. We've only got so much time. Learn to forgive, learn to love again. Not everything has to follow the same pattern as it did before. You can change, you can evolve and you can do it.
Help someone else feel important, cared about and loved. Be stubborn when you have to be.
Break down a barrier.
Maybe I'm wrong, I often am.

good words. I appreciate your authenticity. it's challenging.
"Yes, in the end, people will fail you. Despite our best intentions, sometimes even for the noblest of reasons, folks will let you down. That’s no reason to never let them in. Life is full of regrets. You, too, will fail others, but I’m sure that failure doesn’t define you, nor your relationships, and you’d like the chance to be forgiven and try again."
When are you unbusy in the near future?
