So this is my first blog. I'm not really sure how this goes..
Something i've thought about alot today (at 2am) is how different people can be to how i perceive them. Certain friends or people i know have really been transforming my view of them recently. It's an interesting experience. It makes me question how people must see me, and makes me want to change.
At church last night, Dale challenged us to be friends who can challenge each other and point out things which may need to change. I really wish i had friends who could do that. I'm sure if someone said to me "Saskia you're a flirt" or "Saskia, sometimes you dress immodestly" i wouldn't actually feel very greatful at the time. But being told things like this would probably alert alot of people to things about themselves that they didn't know offended others.
Isn't it interesting how if someone points out a fault someone has, the person automatically becomes defensive and maybe even retaliates? I know that's my first response. While people still generally want to self improve and be a person that others will love.
I didn't intend to write all that ^
Peace out
Yay Saskia!
ReplyDeleteMiddle paragraph - so true
Long posts are good mate.
ps - There are some other good ORY blogs that you should follow. People will follow yours too that way.
IT'S TRUE, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT PEOPLE POINT OUT THAT DON'T NEED ANY CHANGING. SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST JEALOUS OR WANT TO KILL YOUR SPIRIT! WE GOTTA MAKE SURE THAT WE DISTINGUISH THE ONES THAT WANT TO BRING US DOWN!
ReplyDeletePLEASE READ AND FOLLOW MY BLOG!
(SOMETHING NEW & DIFFERENT)
TAKE CARE AND KEEP IT UP!
I know what you mean about pointing things out to people. I'm somtimes really afraid to dot that cause I don't want to hurt their feelings. But sometimes in the end it will help them to be better perceived by other people if they are aware.
ReplyDeleteYea. I don't mean point out every little flaw. Everybody will always have flaws. I just mean if there's something that is harming their relationships with other people that they might not be aware of. And you'd only listen to the advice of the friends you trust. Thanks for commenting :)
