Lifes too short

My brother said something to me a few nights ago that has stuck with me... He said ''lifes too short to be mad". I've heard other people say this before, but hearing it from my intellegent all knowing brother, made me really think about it. I am not an angry person and I think before I speak and I try with everything inside me to keep my opinions to myself. I pray for those that upset me and I try not to let what they say bother me. However, it is human nature to get upset if you hear someone talking about you, but thats their opinions and me and God know the truth about me. Whats important to me is not others' opinions of me, but whats important to me is my opinion of myself and I like myself. I think I have a pretty good heart, I love with all my heart and I care deeply about others, even those that cause me grief and pain because that is what God would expect from me and I expect it from myself.  I dont like confrontation, nor do I like to argue. I think an arguement is a waste of my valuable time. Dont get me wrong, there are some people that are worth the arguement.... but lets face it.... the majority of the people in your life just simply arent worth it. SOOO I completly 100% agree with my brothers statement. Life is just too short to be mad. Live your life how you want to, but be proud of the person that you are. If you wake up in the morning and your not happy with yourself, do something about it. If someone dont like who you are, that is their problem and thats their time they are wasting thinking about it and judging you. Dont waste yours worrying about what they said about you. You only have one life, live it! And Remember to love your parents, we are so busy growing up and living our lives that we often forget that they are growing old.
