Finders keepers

I have heard this saying forever and even have said it myself, but for some reason I have found a new meaning in it for me. Trying to fix how I felt about a situation I kept coming back to "find the good and move on".This is so hard at times because you expect everyone to be on your side or how can they not understand, well that's where finders keepers came in to play. 

There's been a few things bothering me these last few months and one day I decided or God put the notion in my head, they haven't walked in your shoes just as you haven't walked in there's. I had to see from a different view. I found I understood this so I keep reminding myself of this. Unless someone has actually done or been exactly where you are they won't get it,how can they. They can only hear what your going through and have compassion for your situation and hopefully they will pray, to have a idea and be able to see a little more clearly on the path your walking.

I have also found in some of my friends I may not like a few things but I keep in my mind the things I do, this allows me to be able to pray for them and even tolerate things they may say or do. I am so far from figuring it all out so far from being a great person so far from understanding a lot but I find if I keep trying eventually my eyes are opened and my heart lets things go or let's things in that really matter. 

I want to do my best to find and see the good in people and situations, be more positive and then I can keep hold of my heart, mind and soul as it continues learning to move forward and move away from what matters and what doesn't . 

Finding the good is not always easy and keeping it up is hard but practice makes perfect. The more we do something the more it becomes a part of us and that's what shows. We don't realize how much words really do hurt, they can be misunderstood, taken badly and they are carried with us forever. This is one of the reasons I need to choose to find the good, hold on to it and keep a trash can next to me to throw away the bad. It kind of is true " finders keepers losers weepers".
