Differences.//

(Image Via: Pinterest)

I think it's quite easy to disregard a person simply becuase you might have different views on one or two issues. This is something that frustrates me so much because there are people who are my ultimate heroes in life, and maybe we wouldn't agree on a few details of life, but at the end of the day they remain heroes of mine.

We try so hard to find people in life that agree with us on each and every point,

and in the process miss out on some vitals inspriations & friendships.

Not only will you discover more of the world this way,

but you'll open your eyes to different ways of seeing things.

I don't mean to say that your moral standings should be swayed or changed by another individual,

but are we really that scared of someone changing who we are and what we think?

If we were truly secure in our beliefs, why would this even be an issue?

If I were real with you,

I find this a lot in the political realm.

People have such strong convictions,

which is great,

but they allow it so separate them from relationship with other people,

which is lame in all honesty.

I can love Hillary Clinton,

and think she is a kick butt woman--

of which she most certainly is.

And, in the same way I can disagree with her on certain issues.

Does that mean I wouldn't be out of this world honored to be in the same room with her?

Heck no!

I would be jumping in circles if I got the opportunity to do such a thing.

The point is,

why would I miss out on the greatness of who Hillary Clinton is as a person

because of a couple different views?

Well, I wouldn't.

I think this is the a great lesson for our time--

embrace life,

embrace people.

Be so secure in what you believe that you aren't frightened out of your mind to hear

 an opposing opinion.

We have to become better at relationship.

Better at listening to differences.

If we don't we only end up limiting ourselves to all life has to offer.

peace.love.joy.

(p.s. Hillary Clinton is hands down one of my heroes. And, yes I am a "republican".

Get over it. )
