I’m not a fan of really long Social Media posts. It’s not because I don’t care. I genuinely do! I really don’t have the time. I started this as a Facebook update but decided this one belongs on the blog for people to read at their leisure, if they so desire.
“The happiest people don’t worry too much about whether life is fair or not, they just get on with it”.
-Andrew Matthews
This one is hard for me. Whether it be regarding me, my children, my friends, family or strangers, I am all about fairness. I have a very hard time when things aren’t fair, for ANYONE-even if it’s with myself. For example, if I receive, win or earn anything that another person may lose out on , I feel bummed! It’s like I ripped someone off.
What helps me through these types of situations is knowing that, in the end, God will take care of it. We all have our turn in this thing called life and need to remember that happiness is a choice- fair or not!
You can consistently receive less than someone else- for no apparent reason or because the other person may work just a tad harder than you- who knows! We can compare ourselves to the other person and then compete to fill a void that only seemingly makes us happy. You can also choose to be miserable and hold a grudge against the person on the receiving end. But what about being content with what you have, focus on what matters and move on from there! Things may not always be fair but you ALWAYS have a choice to be happy or not.
It's An Adrienne Thing!
