And while I think I've been good in my life about apologizing when I should (and sometimes even when I shouldn't), I have a tendency to put a protective wall up and analyze the heck out of a few simple words. Take them out of context..."so what you meant by that was ***". When all I really did was either take something out of context, misunderstand it or just not let it go and move on.
I know we are all guilty of this to a degree, but in my quest to be as stress-free and balanced as possible, this is something I definitely want to not just work on, but make a priority.
Thankfully, I have people in my life who are willing to cut me some slack on the occasion I'm not as quick as I should be to say, "I'm sorry" or just move on. (Thank you!)
It's easy to let past circumstances act as a road map your way of thinking. And in my case, being that the road I've been traveling on has been a bit bumpy, I should probably consider a new map, huh?!
I read a quote the other day that basically yelled out my name: "Your freedom lies in your power to control your thoughts."
Ohhhhhhhh yes indeedy it does.
