"Hate what is evil; cling to what is good."
Even though this is my favorite verse, I am having a really hard time living by it. I tend to give too many "second" chances. Which in reality is chance three, four and five. However, I try to continue to remember that I do not need people in my life who do not make time for me in theirs. Evil can mean many things and pertain to main things; people, alcohol, drugs, sex and my worse enemy, excessive spending. Why do I need some of the stuff I buy? I do not need it, but it is a desire, yet this desire is taking money out of my savings account. Money that I will one day need to pay my rent or put a down payment on a car; yet I choose to blow it on my daily Venti Marble Mocha Mocciato, that just adds lbs.
The good things in life go over looked from time to time. Like my family; I adore them and could not live a day without them and their support, yet I ignore my parents phone calls sometimes just because I am in a bad mood. I should not push the good things further away, I should, like it says, cling to them. I am really good at giving advice, but I can't take it. That is another thing I need to learn to cling too; holding on to my words and supporting them with my actions. Most advice is to get rid of the evil, and cling to the good things going on in your life. I also take my best friend for granted sometimes. She does so much for me, and I let my moods affect how I respond to her sometimes when it is not fair to her. She is the most caring person in the world, and I need to cling to her.
My newest motto, or the verse revised I shall say: "Hate the bad, love the good".
