Relations

Lately I've noticed a lot about relationships. Not jus boyfriend/ girlfriend type stuff but just how people react towards each other in general. A lot of this has come from my life, my family, and my friends. So I'm going to get the main point out right now... BE HONEST. Not just with other people but with yourself too. Too many people lie to the people they care for and themselves, thus placing themselves in this "game". Now don't get it confused life is a game, chess to be exact, but if your "grown" then you shouldn't have time for games. It would just make life a whole lot easier if we just accepted most of life for what it is instead of lying to ourselves or others out of a fear of growing up. And sometimes growing means that you have to let go of someone or a certain part of yourself so that you can fulfill whatever plan God has for you. Trust me its hard, and I'm currently going through it myself. But taking the easy way out you never grow. I was reading the other week and came across a quote that inspired me to do whatever I had to do to keep moving forward and it read, " But the truth is, you let life push you into submission. Deep down you were terrified of taking risks. You really wanted to win, but the fear of losing was greater than the excitement of winning. Deep inside, you and only you will know you didn't go for it. You chose to play it safe." In my mind avoiding the inevitable is playing it safe, making excuses, or lying; it all is equivalent. What I'm basically trying to say is attack life head first, in the end you will learn from it because lying, making excuses, or beating around the bush will only prolong the issue and make life harder...
