Ships & Bridges

"Build a ship before you burn a bridge". This is an excellent quote to live by. Relationships are so important in your personal life, career, religion and community involvement. I think we should try not to burn bridges and instead work on building healthy relationships.

People will offend you and some will willfully try to hurt you. You have to forgive them and move on. Stay wary of them though because you never know when a snake will strike. Don't be naive and let them use you. Forgive and move on with your life.

You will also offend people and you try to mend that bridge because you will never know where you will end up. You will then have to ask for forgiveness and pray that the offended person will forgive you.

Be willing to compromise and sometimes you have to be the bigger person. I can also be the smaller person too if the situations requires it. It all depends on what your viewpoint is in the situation.

So keep building those ships and maintaining those bridges. There are people that you will eliminate from your life but I am sure the reasons will be clear. I've done some elimination and I have also been eliminated. I've moved forward with a goal of keep those bridges functional and building strong ships.
