I hate when people stir the pot! I know this world is made up of people who have different thoughts, ideas, opinions, etc. That's what makes the world go 'round and what helps us to grow, learn new things, and really ponder about the things we feel or believe. The problem I have is when someone feels the need to stir the pot, just for the sake of sharing their opinion, whether it hurts someone or not. Just because you have an opinion, doesn't mean everyone wants to hear it!
I found a quote today, that really was perfect for how I was feeling today:
"Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition."
I really need to be better at not letting what others say about my choices and decisions affect me so hard. If they were true friends or family, that really cared, they wouldn't say the things they do. I don't mind questions, that are sincere and just understanding what I do. What I do mind is when someone asks a question, that is more of a dig at me, and they aren't asking it to really hear the answer or explanation.
The thing that is interesting to me, is the individuals who give me a hard time and question my reasoning on things, are people who are doing questionable things themselves! Not once have I said anything to them that puts their decision or actions into question.
I don't know how much longer I can keep my mouth and feelings quiet! I feel sorry for the next person that feels the need to question my decisions on the matter at hand.
