Learning Life's Lessons; The Angel Wings of Life

I was talking to a friend of mine on the phone last night - she lives in NY where I was born and raised. I've known her since 1st grade - a lifetime ago.

I love talking to her because somewhere, we learn life lessons from the conversations we have - you know - the goods and bads of life. She was very sick as a young adult and almost died from a brain tumor so she takes life very seriously yet she doesn't.

After a wonderful two-hour phone call, I walked away with yet another life lesson. There are things that people will do to get you mad - and you have a choice on how to react. You can show your anger, activate your throat chakra and let them have it or, you can turn the other cheek and choose to be happy. I'm not saying to be a doormat but just to pick your battles. People are weird and when they come lashing out at you clear out of the blue or for some odd reason, know that it's nothing that you're doing - it's an insecurity in them, that THEY don't like - you just happen to be there.

Life is short as we all know. Choosing how to react to a situation is SO VERY HARD. Give yourself some angel wings for being the bigger person and walking away. It's hard but it shows your strength.
