Somedays I feel pretty polished. Because I was raised to stand up for those who can’t stand up for themselves, I find myself in some pretty intense situations. I have no regrets about doing what I believe is the right thing. I was often taught that those would be scars I would be proud of. Today I ran across this quote and somehow I like viewing it this way, just a little better. I am certain my father would not approve and I am equally as certain that my Mom would approve.
This pretty much sums it up for me too. Taking the high road and holding your head up, knowing you have said or done the right thing is absolutely the right thing to do, no matter how difficult the situation.
I wish that I had made that choice every time. I have not and I have paid the price for my own stupidity.
We all live and hopefully learn. And making mistakes along the way only makes us a better person. Maybe use stubbornness instead of stupidity. Stupidity is such a harsh word. Just sayin’.
Love the quote. Sort of like the times I am going through now when I know I have to be strong, unrelenting and do all that is best for myself and also being helpful and kind to others if possible since they are in no way responsible for my tough times and I do know people who would put themselves above all else but I am not that way.l
Well, I only know you from your writing and your writing says you have a kind heart and a smart mind.
