Perspective

I read this on my cousin Colton's blog. The credit goes to him though it doesn't have the name of who wrote it. When I read this I realized that I can't judge a situation by first impression. I need to try to have a good perspective on things no matter how they started or how they turn out. This was a great lesson to learn!

"I did not provoke the fight so I feel no remorse for what I was forced to do. We were arguing, and seeing that I was right and he was wrong, he decided to fight to cover up his stupidity.

He swung at me first, but being in top condition, I was able to act quickly and block the punch neatly with my head. Whereupon I jumped to the ground knocking him down on top of me.

Then I placed my ear in his mouth and poked his finger several times with my eye. His teeth hurt so much from the strength of my ear that he became irate and tried to kick me, but I cleverly blocked his onslaught with my ribs and face.

I scrambled to my feet and ran to my car in hopes that I would get away and save this man from my deadly hands. Before I could start the car, he pulled me from the still open door. I then proceeded to swing at him but only managed to hit myself with his head. Then I said, "What's this? Two against one?"

That was the final straw. I lost all control. There will be no mercy! Taking him in my death grip, I pounded him in the knee with my stomach, then hit him two or three times real hard in the fist with my teeth! He had had it! I could tell. After that he didn't even try to pick me up off the ground. He was to CHICKEN!

PERSPECTIVE IS EVERYTHING! This life is tough sometimes and our trials can either tear us apart or drag us down. Or we can learn from them and use them as building blocks to better ourselves. THE CHOICE IS YOURS!"

It's all about Perspective!
