Be Proud of Who You Are

I choose to see the good in people. Ask any friend who has vented to me about another- and they will affirm that it is true. I always try to give reasons why someone could be acting the way that they are. I try to focus on what good things they may have done instead of their mistakes. 

Because of this, sometimes I am mistaken for being a pushover or that I live in my own "perfect world." This could not be further from the truth. I focus on the good in people because I can see it when other may not be able to. I know my faults. You know your faults. You know what? I can see the faults in others. What good would it do for me to point out others mistakes and faults all the time? Why do we walk around pointing out the worst in others? It only makes them focus on it more which in turn makes it an even bigger problem. Show people the good in themselves and they will believe in themselves a bit more.

I am not perfect, although I am mostly a perfectionist and would love to be. Haha I sometimes drop the ball, I can be horrible at returning texts or phone calls (or even following up with someone), I procrastinate, and I am very easily distracted. And you know what?! If someone just focused on those traits no one would want to get to know me. But I also love fiercely, am loyal to a fault, am always willing to help others, and can generally just be a fun person to be around.

THOSE are the traits I am going to focus on. And I am going to continue on seeing the good in others because everyone has some and they deserve to be seen.
