When someone makes a mistake, says or does something negative, do you remember that one mistake or the millions of great & positive things about them??
I always try to see it as if were a scale, if the positive outweighs the negative I will most always forgive and forget.
Seems like people these days will judge someone for the one bad thing about them and not all the good things they have done.

If that scale leans more to the bad and it outweighs the good. Then run away.
But always try to remember that said person has many great qualities and shouldn’t be judged for that singular event.

I can give an example:
My niece has a best friend in her class who has always been super nice to her and they are great friends. One day that best friend said something mean to my her ( 1st time ever) and that is all my niece will talk about now. I have to remind her…
“wasn’t this girl always super nice to you?! Wasn’t she nice again the next day?”
she answered “yes”
so i respond with ” then remember all the good times and forgive that one time she was mean”.

There are so many factors that could have gone into why a person snaps. Stress, hormones, hunger, physical pains, depression, money problems,low blood sugar, etc.

You don’t always know what kind of things are going on in their life that they are not telling you. You cannot assume you truly know everything that is going on in their life. Many people will hide their struggles. Even from their best friends, partners and family.
Just take the time to think about this next time someone does something that upsets you. It’s not all about you, they may be battling something bigger than you are aware of.
Don’t take everything so personally. I have had to learn this the hard way, being a Cancer (sign) I am sensitive and will assume that you were mean to me because you hate me or something stupid. And its never the case. Its true that saying that if you ” walk a mile in another persons shoes” you might understand where its coming from.

None of this stemmed from any event that had happened to me recently, but reading peoples Facebook statuses it made me want to write this. Even if just to remind myself to think this way the next time someone does it to me and I need to remember that they posses so many positive qualities.

People should not be defined by 1 single mistake.

If we lived by this philosophy people would be happier.

In my next life I want to be a cat with owners like my family. This little boy was once a wild street cat. And now he’s sleeping on the fluffiest dog bed ever. I love this little furball.  (Taken with instagram)
