Looking Up!

Hey Guys, I thought I'd drop by and give you a thought for this month :)

When I was little the concept of looking up was different in my eyes to how I see it today. When your young everything seems like a fairy tale, you almost feel like reality has no way of making you feel down or upset. You have your mum who loves you as you remind her of herself when she was little, you have your dad who loves you because to him you’re his little angel, then you may have your brother or sister who thinks the world of you just because they get to play with someone and then you have your friends who you can trust and share your deepest secrets with.

Your parents are the first people you look up to when your making your first steps at life, mouthing and sounding out your first words and then eventually dressing your self with out any help from them. My sister and me had some other people we looked up to as well, though when we found out one person was leaving we had to accept it. Our minds easily accepted it but it took time for us to train our hearts.

Now that I’m older I realise that looking up to someone wasn’t always the best thing to do. You may decide to look up at someone who is taking drugs or doing something you feel uncomfortable about. You may look up to someone who you think are awesomely amazing and in the end they may turn out to be someone completely different. I know someone who went to far at looking up at someone and she couldn’t think of a way to turn the situations she was in around. But she did! :). I helped her, her friends helped her, the people she could trust in the whole wide world helped her.

If someone came up to me and asked me ‘what would be one thing you’ve learnt this year?’ I would say RESPECT. Why? Well I’ve been through many things this past year that has made me change my point of view. I’ve come to train myself not to judge people either in the street, a store or online. Everyone is human, everyone has feelings and everyone has a heart though we may not see it on the outside people could be hurting on the inside. Making there day worse by treading them down even that tiniest bit further can seriously damage someone. I know this because not only have I felt it but my sister has too.

I have been bullied in the past and I guess everyone may do at some point in their life. But to see my sister coming home some days feeling like she is the worst thing in the world breaks my heart.

I never told my parents I was bullied, I wanted to work it out for myself, It helped. From this I became a stronger person. But my sister is not like me she was a little weaker, but don’t get me wrong. I have helped my sister be a stronger person and she has come to terms with my concept of looking up at someone as well as bullying.

So my advise for all you lovely people, is to look across at someone never up. Looking across means to look at both there flaws and personality, but whilst doing this respect them and their individual choices, DON’T JUDGE as I’ve said everyone is an individual and have their own way of doing things it’s their life not yours. You choose what you make of life, no one else does. It’s their choice to try and bully you away from your hopes and dreams but they can’t force you. You be who you choose to be.

Here’s a scripture reference to go with what I’ve said :)

1 Samuel 16:7
- “But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of hi stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.”
