It is Better ...

Are you aware of the saying 'It is better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt'? I love it and it fits so many people especially those who seem to have the intense need to tell others how to live their lives. They think that they are being honest and helpful when they speak their minds. They poke their noses into the business of people all around them and meddle in events that they can make worse.

I may talk a lot but I am soft spoken. I don't like conflict and tend to be an introvert. I am open about things I do and feel. Therefore I seem to attract people who consistently tell me how to live my life as if I can't do it on my own. It is annoying and sometimes I have to snap at the person just to get some peace. Most of the time I just ignore whoever is interfering in my life and there have been times it has been quite amusing. When a person who knows it all, speaks their mind and knows everything tells me something that is totally wrong I just look at them and shake my head.

Because guess what bossy people? I don't want you to tell me how to live my life. I know I make mistakes but that is part of the fun. I know I sometimes drink too much, eat too much and don't exercise enough. I know that I am not perfect - as if I would want to be - and that there are things I can improve on. If I feel like it I will improve those things. I know I spend a lot of time alone but I like being alone.

Bossy person you are not perfect, you don't know everything there is to know and you are not the master of the universe. You open your mouth and remove the doubt much too often. And as for speaking for your mind? Be careful you might not have anything left.

Until the next time.

(PS I decided not to start another blog. I am having difficulty keeping up the ones I have.)
