Move Off of Drama Boulevard

You have to grow up at some point.

Before approaching any situation pertaining to gossip, take a good and long look at the source. Make sure the information is credible then by all means address it in a less aggressive manner. There are far more important things in life than constant turmoil. People who live on drama boulevard should take that same motivation and use it in a way that will be beneficial to them and their family.

Misery loves company, but I have a surprise for you. Many people are not miserable and don't like drama. So if drama is all you have to offer, they will pass on that gift, and give you an apology for being ungrateful. You can have fun stressing yourself out. One day you will understand that there is so much more to life. While you are playing catch up to the rest of us, another helping hand will probably bow out gracefully!

The sad part is that it makes you mad when others will not take the time out of their life to go back and forth with you. Neither time nor life can be paused or rewound. Both of them are precious and should not be wasted frivolously.

It is time to start making some life-altering decisions. Those decisions are whether you are going to continue to stir up so much trouble and pull others into the middle of your drama, or grow up. If you do not make the right decision, you may end up alone because drama is the very reason so many walk away.

Stop letting others tarnish your image by allowing them to take you out of your character. In that instant, you become the topic because of the scene you made, and the fool you made of yourself. Yes, I know. You don't care what other people think, but here is one to grow on. They say it's a small world, and you never know who is in your audience. You may have to go before some of these people later on in life to ask for a job or entrance into a program to better your life. If they remember the one man/woman show that you performed, do you think you would still have a chance? Always remember, your first impression is your best impression. It is disconcerting to know that someone so bright could be so clueless

So, I want to leave you with one last thought. Come on, take that leap and move off of drama boulevard and join the rest of us. Your stress levels will definitely be reduced to a minimum and life will probably become a little easier. Your character and integrity are two of the most important things people pay attention to. Don't look at the fallouts from your drama fest as a mistake. Look at each incident as a learning experience. Find the positive lesson in each one, and make sure you don't repeat it.

To sum this all up, please take a look around you, and if you find yourself constantly involved in some form of drama, it is time to take a step back and look at yourself. If trouble tends to appear when you do, then nine times out of ten you are the one starting it. We all must grow up at some point; why not start now and get ahead of the game? Stop being so quick to believe everything you hear, especially when you know the person and what you are being told is against every thing they stand for.

Lastly, respect goes a long way, and if you begin to respect yourself, others will too. You cannot expect others to respect you if you do not respect yourself. It is all about knowing your worth. A price tag cannot be placed on a virtuous woman.
