Recently it seems as if every time I post a new blog it has been awhile since I have written, so my deepest apologies. My life has been crazy recently. I leave to go home in 2 weeks exactly, I have project due date on Monday, I have lots of homework and a couple finals coming up. School is the most consuming thing in my life currently, but with school comes friends, issues, projects, homework and drama.
I don't know if it's because it is my second year in college, but I have found that more and more people tend to put others down. Maybe it's because we know each other better now or maybe it's simply because we don't have anything better to do. I know for a fact that I have said some pretty nasty things about some people this year and all it is doing for me is...well, nothing actually.
Putting others down may build you up for a temporary moment, but in the end you're the one who is hurting yourself by wasting your time talking about someone or something when you could be doing better things such as ; encouraging someone, buying someone a gift, giving advice, getting closer to God or just having quiet time.
My challenge is to see if you can go a day without talking negatively about anything or anyone. I mean, it is the time of year to focus more on being grateful. Who knows? Maybe you'll save a breath or two :)
