Patterns

Today's Scripture: Proverbs 15:18

Thought for the day: "Am I trying to prove I'm right or improve this relationship?"

This used to be huge for me. I always had to be right. I still have flashes of moments when this is very true. It's something that I struggle with every day. Especially when I'm dealing with people that I don't like or that already get on my nerves and make me angry. 

What's worse, is that I not only have to be right, but I have to prove I'm right too. Guess I should probably stop doing that. Easier said than done, right?

Guess it's time to make the choice to change my perspective and realize that there is something that I probably just didn't know and that maybe, just maybe, I should shut up and listen to see the other person's side.

Stop. Pray. Think. Listen. Choose. Hmmmmm...I'm beginning to see a pattern here and I'm not best pleased. (That's a quote from the play "Potted Potter" but it is rather fitting here!)

Time to get on that!
