Who said? Them.
It can appear that other people have the answers to your life or that their lives are are in a better place than your but it just is not true. People often tell you what they would do but if you look at their lives they walk something different. It is fine to have people to talk to as a sounding board however; at the end of the day it is your situation and you ultimately need to make the decisions for your life. It may not be what another person would do and that is ok. This is your journey and your lessons are on your own individual path.
I remember when I was struggling with my marriage. I made the mistake of talking about it in the break room at my job. Different women chimed in and had a lot to say about me staying with my husband. It didn't matter that I expressed how I wanted to keep my family together. THEY kept saying how if it was them they would leave. Fast forward several years I heard through one of my friends that both of those ladies were in a worse situation than mines and guess what? They both stayed in their marriages and pretended like everything was ok. I wound up leaving my marriage on my own but I am glad I didn't listen to those women. Though the years I have found more often than not that people give you advice they wish they would have done and not actually what they would do but rarely let you know it.
For me it is my relationship with God that makes everything work. He places different people/events in my life that help me keep going along my path. I appreciate the people in my life who #SpeakLyfe in to my situation.
I am grateful.
Do you have a 'THEY SAY' story and want to share?
Please chime in.
Peace & Love
