Lessons

It seems that every time I turn around there is an opportunity for me to learn. For me to evolve spiritually, so to speak. This particular lesson keeps presenting itself repeatedly - so it appears it is one I really need to learn.

I am a very passionate, opinionated, hot-tempered person. I am also very sensitive and compassionate. Unfortunately, this leads me to make what are oftentimes unwise decisions. I try to resolve difficulties in the best way I know how (without completely abandoning my own beliefs, opinions, and pride), when I should have just left the situation alone in the first place. My heart is usually in the right place. Ultimately, however, I usually end up making the situation far worse that it would have been otherwise.

When will I ever learn to just step back and let it be? Time will resolve most things. If I would just learn to be a little more patient.
