Minding your bidness

Maybe its the introvert in me, maybe its the Aquarius in me, maybe its my character, but I find it hard to mind other peoples business. People are so quick to be negative about SOMEONE ELSES life, granted I have had my gossip days, but A gossip day vs a gossip life is a huge difference. Even with these celebrities, we are so quick to judge their lives as if we woke up next to them, we take picutres and gossip from "unknown sources" and believe it to be true.

For example, recently there were stories that Fantasias newest baby father ( the one who left his wife ) had broken up with her and went BACK to his wife, then the rumor went on to say that she was depressed, in the bed all day, and on the verge of suicide. People took that story and ran with it, spoke negativity all into this womans life. Turns out the rumors were false, fantasia is on broadway and broke up with him almost a year ago ( which I already knew). It was crazy because someone obviously wants her to lay down and die somewhere.

This is what happens when you dont speak life into someone. What sally do with her baby daddy or sam do on his job is not your business. How can you possibly see God bless your life if you continuously curse someone elses with your words. I am believing more and more that you shouldnt put your mouth on Gods people regardless to how they live their lives. Most recently I learned to just nod my head and say "uh huh" whenever someone is talking to me about someone elses life, so if im doing that to you its because really dont want to hear it. Its super uncomfortable to even be put in that position for me in the first place. There is too much pressure in knowing that someone is being constantly talked about and that if it comes back to them your name can come up because if nothing else you listened and commented on their lives. Its okay to vent, were all human, but sometimes folks go too far

Recently I asked God why I had to hear and see EVERYTHING. I have the gift of being a good listener and being super observant. Believe it or not it is a gift because there is protection and preparation in knowing. This is also a curse because everyone comes to you about everything, you are forced to hear or see things you NEVER wanted to know about. Even in minding my own business someone elses business comes to me because people talk too Dayum much. Dont get me wrong, talking can be a gift too, being able to persuade easily or get people to listen, lawyers have this gift, preachers have this gift, teachers have this gift, but I am not much of a talker, especially for no reason. My mother loves to talk and has yet to understand that sometimes I want to sit in silence lol. Even when having a talkative day I have to shut up sometimes. How can you learn if your mouth is always open? How can you understand if you dont listen? Too many teachers out here and not enough students. The next time someones situation comes up, practice speaking positivity, praying for them, or simply saying nothing. I have had to learn this over the years. Be quicker to hear than to speak.....you learn so much more.
