Opinions are like buttholes...everyones got one

SO ....today I am annoyed...so my lesson for you today, my boys, is learning to let it roll.  There will always be someone who knows more than you, has an opinion for how and why you should do things.  Who wants to tell you how you should run your life.  Sometimes these opinions come from a place of love, sometimes they come from a place of wanting to be "RIGHT", and sometimes they are self serving, as in they are serving the person who is giving the advice.  How do you decipher when to listen, when to let it roll and so on...

First you take a nice deep breath...

Even when you feel like you want to do this

Its okay, everyone feels like this sometimes...the important thing is NOT acting on it :) 

You see those who are coming from a place of love, give their opinion because they genuinely love you and want whats best for you.  So look at who the advice is coming from...if its one of these two people you know for sure its all good....

Those people who want to be right and or self serving...look for these factors...does the advice serve them just as much as its going to serve you...or maybe even will it serve them more.  For example if you mention in passing that you would like to change a little something about your car that works perfectly well and your friend who sells cars says..."you know you wouldn't have that problem if you came in and bought one of my cars, they are the answer to all your issues"  This is a red flag warning...because the advice serves them way more then it serves you.  They aren't thinking about the cost, insurance or maintenance of the vehicle....but you will have to

Then there are those who just want to be right.  No matter what you do....they are right you are wrong.  You cannot make these people happy.  Because they are happy only when you are miserable.  They find joy in being the winner when you are the loser

Honestly these are people you need to remove from your life...people who no matter how fun they are...need to get the boot square to their pants

Figuratively not literally...I am not promoting or advocating for violence my loves. :)

Your Grandpa Wyatt has made the title of this blog famous.  And its one of my favorite sayings :) 

Please know that you are loved, that you are worthy of having your own life experiences, making your own mistakes, and yes suffering the consequences of these mistakes.  These are all very important life lessons.  Knowing all of these things will make it so much easier to let all that negativity roll...and living a life filled with challenges yes...but full of positive results.  When making decisions in life its a great idea to seek the advice of others,elders, mentors, parents.  To PRAY for direction.  And to not be too impulsive.  Although spontaneity can make life so exciting!  Its all about balance boys and when life has healthy balance...LIFE IS GOOD!

Love you guys to the moon and back!  Mom :)
