I constantly pray to guard my
tongue, heart, thoughts and soul to be careful of what I say not to offend
others. I want to be treated the way I treat others. I do not always get the
same treatment but I still try. I think I am in some control of my emotions but
that is foolishness on my part. I am not always in control and my pride still
gets the better of me. Pride lets you be stupid at the moment and then
humiliates you later. Quoting Forrest Gump’s mother, “Stupid is as stupid does.”
I have to pray unceasingly not to let the foolishness of pride take control. The
sad part of pride allows others to take control of you. Be wary, my friend,
stay alert at all times.
Sometimes, we tend to find excuses for the things that don't work out for us. We tend to blame others instead of taking responsibility for our actions, which only elevates the excuses. This behavior also applies to standing up for what is right. We often remain silent and wait for someone else to take the initiative instead of holding ourselves accountable. "What's your excuse, now?" is about empowering ourselves to make choices that will help us feel comfortable and confident in our skin.
