How you handle your relationships can
either take you to the next level or bring you
down. Lately
it seems that relationships are keeping people down. They
either have had a bad relationship or they think have a good
relationship, yet they have no one to talk to. They feel
alone and that nobody cares. Just because you have likes on
your Facebook Page does not mean that you have true
relationships. People walk around acting as if life is good
and that they do not have a care in the world, but all of us go
through struggles and have difficult times. All of us
struggle with self–esteem issues wondering does this person like
me, is my nose too big, or are my eyes weird or whatever.
These are real issues that all of us struggle
with. Some people may claim that they want to
help you out, but when someone comes forward especially over the
internet people come out of no where bashing and joking and giving
the person a hard time. Mob mentality and cyber bullying
begins. Whatever happened to the old saying “if you have
nothing nice to say then don’t say anything at all.” What
does this saying mean? It means if you are not uplifting
someone; if you are not saying something decent then why are you
bothering to say something. There is no reason to tear others
down. We are not talking about good natured kidding because
we all have to be able to laugh at ourselves sometimes, but we are
talking about people that viciously attack others on Social
Media. These people overly exaggerate or say things that are
completely untrue. And most times they don’t even know the
person that they are saying the hurtful things about. Are
these healthy relationships? Absolutely not and when you
respond to these people you are egging it on even more. It is
sad but people will share a negative message before they will share
a positive one. This Surging Forward Podcast was started
to help you to create a positive you in a negative world. We
can only make choices for ourselves. Many good people get
sucked into the negative. They attack someone else so that
they can avoid getting attacked themselves. We feel so
insecure in our own lives that when we see someone else going
through a struggle we jump in on that band wagon that way no one is
bothering us. But this just sends us down a spiraling rabbit
hole and before long we find ourselves on the other end of the
spectrum and all those so called friends are gone.
What if more people started to
encourage more people? Often this does not happen because people do
not have healthy relationships. They feel alone and they
don’t want to take a step out, because they are afraid that they
will be picked on if they are wrong. No one knows everything
about everything. And don’t feel like you have to know
everything. That is what relationships are about; people
helping people. Have you ever been in a relationship with
people that can influence you? They bring you up when you are
down. They stand by your side when you make a mistake.
Relationships are only good if they help you through the rough
times. Having a positive relationship is what gets you
through those difficult times. My pastor made a statement
that who you follow defines who you are and who you are defines who
you will follow. Even when it comes to religion it is all
about a relationship. You may know people that do a lot of
good things and try to be a good person, but if you don’t have a
relationship and all you have is “religion” then who is going to
stand in your court to help you when times get tough. It is
all about a relationship. Life does get tough, but you can keep
Surging Forward by continuing to take life one step at a time to
create a positive you in a negative world. Only you can make
choices for you. If you enjoy this podcast please feel free
