Life's too Short

This is just one lesson of many I try to teach my children:

• Life is too short to worry about pleasing every person, just because you're afraid to be looked at differently.
• Life is too short to call people friends who you really don't like, just because every one else is keeping them around.
• Life is too short to keep negative aspects around, just because you're afraid of change.
• Life is too short to listen to a person's rant, just because everyone is telling you that person "knows" something you don't.
• And life is definitely too short to not move on, just because you're afraid you won't find something better.

I had to remind myself of this lesson today when I decided it was time to de-friend my first online friend...very weird experience, but also very liberating.
