EVERYBODY WANTS TO POST A QUOTE...
That they DON'T
follow themselves. I've probably done this too so just feel snuggly and
warm on the inside knowing that I'm talking about myself too. I don't
understand why people spend so much time posting cute little pictures of quotes
or things so somebody will co-sign for them on Facebook - instead of spending
more time actually focusing on what the message is about.
Alright...so I did that one time about the whole saying, "Your ATTITUDE determines your LATITUDE". I probably made this post sometime in 2010 earlier that year. Little did I know about a year and some change later...my surroundings (people-wise) had drastically changed and for the first time I realized many things and types of people that annoyed the Sugar Honey Iced Teabags out of me. So yeah...I had some PMS-like action in my mental space. "Some PMS" really was more like "excessive" to be totally honest. Especially in the morning. I wanted to kick a couple of innocent metro riders down a malfunctioning escalator for no reason. I felt icky and annoyed.
It's SOOOOOO easy to come across "righteous" and like a "voice of reason" but half the time, we have no idea that self-reflection is so much more important. Honestly, how many of us REALLY post a quote because we want to reach out to someone who may benefit from what we post...rather than just having 15+ people co-sign on what you're saying (which is really preaching to the choir or having a slight case of narcissism).
Trust me, I post stuff too, but I actually pray on these things. I didn't say I wear any halos or anything (Lord knows I'm crying out for help daily) but I try to practice what I preach at least. Remember that you are always a student. Unless you are claiming to be God. And that we are most certainly NOT.
