People have a habit of getting stuck in a box and once in
that box they tend to surround themselves with people who also live in that
same box. It’s understandable; being surrounded by people with the same point
of view, same hobbies, makes life simple.
However, over the years I’ve found it important to have
people in my life that challenge me. It’s very easy to get stuck in a mind-set
that you’re right and everyone else is crazy; and as much as I hate to say
this, that’s not always the case. Sometimes; even the best of us are wrong.
Other times we’re right; and it takes being challenged by someone with a
different point of view to confirm that.
That’s why I love having Mr. X in my life, we rarely agree
on anything; we tend to be polar opposites on most issues, but despite what you
may think this doesn’t come between us, we’re actually better friends because
of it.
He challenges me to look at things from a different point
of view or with other information in mind and I challenge him to do the same
and to not be such an asshole while doing so. And over the years I believe we’ve
both become better people because it.

This has helped me a lot over the years at work to try and
keep a good attitude even when I want to murder everyone with a 100 mile
radius. Or at least it used to before the current manager took over and my
ability to play nice was forcefully removed from my being…but that’s a story
for another day.
I just wanted to take a moment to challenge you to look at
your thoughts and opinions from the opposite standpoint, you never know you
might become a better person because of it.
Anyways, my lovelies, I’m off to enjoy my much needed
holiday from work, but before I go I shall leave you with this question; when someone
argues with you, what is your first reaction? Let me know in the comment box
below and as always stay and play safe.
Love,
The Honest Bitch
