Is This the hill you want to die on?
Is This the Hill You Want to Die On?
Today is a day off and I was reading stuff and came across these two quotes,"Is THIS the hill you want to die on?" "so...how's that working for ya?"
How many times have we chosen a hill to die on but that it wasn’t a good choice? We need to get up and move to the next location.
So many experiences in our life cause us pain and we are sure that we want to just die right there. Those are critical moments in our lives.
The blessed curse of “free will” is the freedom of the human race. You can keep moving and growing or you can make an obvious choice or depressed one. This is the hill I want to die on.
There are times that our world has been turned upside down and we are not sure where to go. We may stop to gain composure or heal. That may be the best choice at the moment. In truth some allow themselves to live there and be defined by those moments.
A marriage ends and bitterness and strife becomes the lens through which we look at all things. Hatred, unforgiveness, and excuses they become the road and language that throw us on a hill to die on. Our choice becomes to get over the pain and difficulty to look at the sun and next hill to climb. Or we can honestly die on this hill.
Like many I have experienced pain and in truth I caused some. It has never been my goal to hurt another so in that I am sorry. Growing beyond this pain and hurt is my goal. To see life in new ways… to once again smell the roses and see the world for the first time.
Don’t allow the pain or broken-ness of another to hurt or define you. Learn from it, that is truly important then move on. Embrace it to learn the message then let it go and move on in the knowledge you will do better. When we stay there and allow hatred, unforgiveness and bitterness live in our lives, these people and circumstances own us.
I lived there and allowed others to define success or failure. Oh how foolish to allow the garbage from another to be mine. Truth is for me I was very successful. WE came so close to victory. Next time I believe like an athlete with God’s help I will go all the way.
Where will you live…? Is THIS the hill you want to die on?"… "so...how's that working for ya?"

Children? They don't want presents, they just want to see your face light up when they come in the room.
