Think about someone who annoys you. Write a list of everything you don't like about them, and then write a list of all the things that you're grateful that they've shown you about yourself.
what I don't like:
fake smiles
no boundaries
gossiping and spreading mis-information
easily hurt and yet callous to others
the facade
guilt tripper
pumps you for information so it can be filed away and used when convenient
blantant disregard for others feelings
sees the bus and can easily throw you under it
professes to being incredibly busy and yet doesn't really do anything
wants everything about You to be public yet holds all personal information.
acting like a 21 year old
what I am grateful for:
recognizing how even a small statement (or post of facebook) can have great repercussions and really hurt people
gossiping is BAD BAD BAD. Nothing good can come from it. You want the full story - ask the source and if you don't have the guts to ask the source then you have no f***ing business talking about it
actions and how we treat our friends and co-workers speak volumes.
generosity is important - but you should not expect it to be reciprocated
stand up for what you believe - make no excuses for what you have done. If a friend cannot understand your reasons, perhaps they are not really a friend.
quality of conversation is important
understanding what I get out of and need from relationships
and something I know about characters on stage, that this person reminds me of constantly as it applies to real life- there is always a reason for a person's behavior (motivation) and sometimes that motivation is not clear even to them.
Learning to forgive
