i'm watching the celebrity apprentice right now and i can't believe how immature and messy nene leak is. that is a woman who needs to take a long hard look in the mirror. and she's not alone. we all do. i can personally attest to days of being immature in my thoughts/actions and letting that carry over into messy action. and i'm not just talking about my teen years.
when we are hurt, we act out of our hurt. we do and say things designed to dish out what we're feeling on the inside. it has consequences and sometimes the damage is irreversible. as i watch her go at starr jones and the other women on the team with no respect for their humanity and no regard for the environment, i'm reminded that misery loves company.
it doesn't take long for me to think of a time when i was absolutely miserable in the situation i was in. and to be honest, much of the environmental conditions were related to my reaction to what was going on around me. i was miserable and i know i made others miserable around me. i see that in nene. she can't stand to be around a strong woman who knows who she is. nene likes weak people who will bend under her powerful, overbearing personality. insecure people need others to validate them. secure people receive their validation from God. plain and simple.
that being said, we have the power to determine our attitudes and control our feelings. we alone decide to give in to misery and bitterness. and when we allow those feelings to rule our lives, we bring death to our situations and relationships. take back your power. if misery loves company, stop inviting it in and entertaining it! take a long look in the mirror and realize you are fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of god. you're not garbage, you're not junk. you are precious and powerful and of great worth. accept your authority and give misery the boot!
