Friday afternoon

Had a good second run this week. It felt good. I work tonight and it’s sometimes difficult to get my mind in the right spot. Weekends are a difficult time. I know that working out helps me cope with the crazy stuff I have to deal with. I was thinking as I ran... How people treat other people is a direct reflection of how they feel about themselves. I have to remind myself of that. I didn’t understand how other people could be mean, rude, or offensive toward strangers or friends. I took it personally when people affronted me or were curt with me, believing they were truly out to get me for something I’d done. When you find that people are being rude to you in your everyday life, they are really being mean to themselves. They have likely convinced themselves that they are unworthy of love, and that is the biggest tragedy of all. You don’t have to tolerate it when others are not nice, but it’s not something to take personally. You don’t have to internalize the meanness as a fault of your own. You can simply recognize that the person being rude is struggling with their own problems, and needs a way to cope with them. You cannot control the actions and behaviors of others, only your personal reactions to them. #fitgrandpaonajourney #fitguyonajourney
