ROSE-COLORED GLASSES...

In the past few months of my life, I have come to realized I was living behind rose-colored glasses. What do I mean by that? Well let me try to explain;
For a long time, I was convinced that all my problems were somebody else's fault. That is, all my hurt, and all my pain was because I believed, while looking through these rose-colored glasses, that I was the victom, and my pain was caused by somebody else's choices.

Recently, I have taken off these glasses and discovered that the true source to my pain was me, not someone else! Because of my actions, choices, lies, etc., I have created my own pain, and in the process brought others into it. I thank God that he revealed to me the truth behind my hurt, and convinced me to stop blaming it on someone else.

Sadly, I believe that I am not the only one in this world who has worn these rose-colored glasses. I would almost bet all that I have that it is these rose-colored glasses that destroy more marriages and relationships than anything else! Because we cannot see past the nose on our own face, we convince ourselves that all the disagreements, arguements, and hurt are because the other won't listen, or understand! Until we are willing to look at ourselves in the mirror without these glasses on, (and when I say we, I mean anybody, and everybody) we will not be able to get past whatever pain, and hurt we are feeling in whatever relationship that is effected by those feelings.

I am learning to go on without these Rose-colored glasses, and if the whole world would do the same, I believe this would be a much happier world to live in. So from now on, my rose-colored glasses are in the trash, and NOW..... It's all about the Oakleys!!!!
