Stay in Your Lane
Am I the only one who is fed up with everyone and the opinions they feel the need to express regarding what others choose to do with their lives? Like, give me a break already. What makes your way of living any better than the next? Who left you the blueprint on how to navigate through life’s journey? Whether it’s someone you know personally or a celebrity, keep your self-righteous views to yourself. Besides, who the hell asked for them? There are more pressing matters at hand than peoples’ personal affairs. Look at the state of our world. Senseless killings on the rise, no accountability for those in positions of power, etc.… Isn’t there where our focus should be. I’m a firm believer that we are all battling devils just on different levels. Just because your dirt isn’t spread out for all to see doesn’t mean its non-existent. Stop lying to yourself. The more time you spend pinpointing flaws in another is less time available to address & correct your own. Maybe that’s the objective. Are you aware that painting an ill picture of someone else really reveals your true colors? No matter how you try to hide behind the mask, you can’t run from yourself. Take a step back, reflect on the image in the mirror and decide what areas you need to improve upon. There is always work to be done as perfection is null. Time to get ourselves together before we attempt to discredit another. Why is so easy to criticize, but hard to compliment? We’re always in competition with folks who pay us no mind and could care less what we have going on. Time out for this type of foolery. My eldest son used to say, “Stupidity is a state of mind”. If that’s the case, many people need to relocate. There are many paths to take during a lifetime to reach the desired outcome. Just because someone takes a different approach than you, doesn’t make them wrong or any less. I’ll use a math analogy here: 3+6=9 as does 5+4. The result is the same. Let people live their lives to their choosing. Besides, they’re the ones who must deal with the consequences of it. Even if it’s a family member or close friend, give them space to make their own mistakes so that they can learn from them. Experience has always proven to be the best teacher. You don’t know it all. What worked for you may not work for the next.
I’ll end by saying this: When you stay in your lane, there is less traffic & fewer accidents!
