I've gotten pretty good at it, but I still need a lot of work. It's real tough getting other people to see through someone else's eyes. It seems we just can't put ourselves out of the picture long enough to see how the other person feels.

It's hard to see the picture when you're the frame.

We have to put others before ourselves, but we do not need to let ourselves get taken advantage of. If you let them, some people will take advantage of you and anyone who lets them. It's up to us to not only protect ourselves but also others.

We need to look through other peoples eyes, but as you are looking through them LEARN.

If you find yourself in the same situations but with different people over and over again, you've got to wonder.

It doesn't mean you are wrong or right but you need to see the warning signs. Trust me they are there. If you look back at any situation where you've found yourself in a confrontation or unpleasant situation, I bet that now looking back you can see the warning signs.

I'm saying learn these warning signs and avoid the situations that you know you don't want to be in.

Until we meet again, keep a smile on your face, me in your prayers and God in your heart.

As always, your comments are welcomed.

Have a better than Outstanding Day!
