It’s always been said that there are pretty much two kinds of people in this world….bugs and windshields. For years of my life I was a bug. I let people walk all over me. I let people do and say whatever they wanted to me and just took it without firing much back for fear of what they might think or say.
So then some years back I decided I was going to be a windshield. I was going to start holding my own against their words and criticism. Start firing back if I needed to… And where did it get me…honestly?...
Now I am just a bug with b*$!@y windshield tendencies.
You can’t change your stripes. It wasn’t my place to try to become someone else just because other people weren’t being good people. Granted I need to not let people use me and take advantage of me, but there is a difference in putting a stop to that and making yourself become a b-word to try to make people stop treating you a certain way.
You can go through life continually trying to be something you will never be, or you can accept what you are and try to just be as good of a person as you can be at that. I may never be a person who can firmly tell someone they are hurting me, but you better believe that I am the person who will tell someone if they are hurting someone I love…That’s one of my stripes, right along in there with wearing my feelings on my sleeves.
If you can't accept that you will never be this other person, one day you are going to wake up and realize your life is far off track from where you wanted it to be. In some areas you may be thriving, but in others you know that you have more in store for you, and that God has more in store for you…but chances are, as long as you are fighting for this other life, you will never get what you are destined for…maybe it’s time to shatter the windshield if that will help you do what you need to to get what you deserve.
Have A GOODloe Day!
