Help! I've Been Shot!



I am a very prideful person. Actually, let's say horribly prideful. And today, my self-esteem took a hit.

I don't want to go into specifics, but there is one thing I believe I am good at. Maybe the only thing I'm really good at. And today, probably for the first time, I was humbled. Someone out there rocked my boat.

Now, I believe that there are 2 actions I can take regarding this experience today.
1. I can continue to be prideful and have a bitter attitude... OR
2. I can learn from this experience and use it as a stepping stone to a better and healthier me.


To be honest, I really want to do #1. That's my first reaction. But I think that if I strive to do #2, that this can make me a better person over all. One day, in the future, a similar experience may occur and I'll have the ability to overcome it without even a second thought.


So, I think that I'm going to take "the road less traveled" and see where it leads me.

I, too, am curious, but that's cool if you don't want to go into specifics. You are awesome, and I am totally impressed with your decision to strive for #2! Also, you are super talented, and no matter what happened, you are still super talented (singing, sewing, mommy-ing, etc.)!!!
