I could be different.

I feel like I'm on this path where I've hit a certain age and I'm tired of being mediocre, and want to be the best that I can be. I'm not talking in terms of anything particularly specific, but there are definite parts of my personality that annoy the absolute shit out of me. I can be a proper whiny bastid for one, and I often centre my attentions on people I care about, or things that are important to me - which isn't a bad thing, but it does mean I have silly opinions that shouldn't be too important for anyone else to live alongside. I've now taken on board a (possibly?) Arabian Proverb...

The words of the tongue should have three gatekeepers:

  > Is it true?

  > Is it kind?

  > Is it necessary?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not gonna become perfect. I don't expect to be, and honestly, if I didn't have the occasional Pickle rant that was potentially offensive to at least SOMEONE, I think I'd lose a part of me. However, the above rings true, and I want to be a better person, and not allow these negative judgments and thoughts spread to others.

I already know it's not gonna be overnight. I'm a horrifically judgmental person, and I'm aware that a lot of my issues are because I  have a tendency to project. I assume that everyone is just as judgmental as me, when in actuality, I'm a speck of dust in the grand scheme of things and I'm barely ever considered by anyone outside of my circle.

All this said, don't expect me to become a completely different person. Not happening. I will just attempt to remember that it is NOT okay to silently judge, or loudly judge anyone, and rest assured if the ugly side of me pops up in a conversation, I will be over-thinking it until next week, kicking myself that i'm not finished learning yet. :P
