Asking for Forgiveness

I'm stubborn. That's definitely a statement. So asking for forgiveness is often hard for me. It's hard for me to realize I'm wrong a lot. My husband says I have self entitlement. I honestly haven't psycho analyzed myself to the point of finding out how I feel about everything, but I do know that I have a problem.

Hi, I'm Jordan and I often don't feel sorry for things or actions because I feel I'm right. I could blame it on a lot of things. I could blame it on my mother (who often thinks she's right too), or because I'm smart and I read a lot, but honestly I don't want to blame things, people, circumstances... I just want to accept my faults and find a way to fix them.

Before I started writing this blog I used to only write when something negative happened. I realized this trend and decided I needed to focus on the good. It's been a slow process, but I'm changing into more of the person I would like to be.

So how do I fix the fact that I'm always right? Haha that's a hard one! Maybe it's less about who is right or wrong and more about realizing why people feel the way they feel and just letting that be ok. Why does it always have to come down to right or wrong? Can't we just be tolerant of differences?

There is so much negativity in the world and I just don't want to be a supporter of it. I want to be a creative changer and someone that believes in the hope of happiness.

So how does this come back to me and being right?
Well I realize a lot of the fights that I've had with some of my closest friends have been my fault because I couldn't listen. I couldn't understand. No, I CHOSE not to listen or understand. If I had just taken a step back, sat down and listened I would have a few more friends in my life today.

Sometimes being the bigger person means that you have to step back and say, ok let me listen to your side; I care about what you're saying. It's important to me. Don't be afraid to apologize for hurting someone. It's often not the issue that people are upset over, it's often your treatment of them during a disagreement.

It's hard, but this is another thing I will fight for. I want to be the person that people can talk too.
