Karma has no deadline

It's cool to see how my outlook on life has changed so much. I'm glad my parents planted certain seeds in my head even during the times I didn't want to acknowledge how right they were at the moment. It's crazy because even when I don't want to hear what they have to say they are the first people I call for advice. I've been in many relationships/friendships with individuals who don't always do right by me. I was always that person who didn't give chances and would cut you off with no explanation we would just be DONE! Well, it's crazy because I didn't think about how they felt when I would do that because I am so quick to react off of emotions. However, the more and more I learn about God and read books on relationships/friendships I find out how it important it is to give people that same benefit of the doubt you would want from them. I know for me I would be devastated if someone cut me off and didn't at least tell me what I did wrong. I didn't fully understand how doing that to someone could be detrimental until someone did it to me. Even though the person has done you wrong, they still have feelings, and two wrongs do make a right. I'm not saying that you have to accept this person back in your life but at least think about if you have given them any chances or how they tell you they are sorry. The best apology is a changed behavior but if they are trying to make amends that I think you should give them that chance to say how they feel or express their remorse. It's all fun and games until the shoe is on foot and you want someone to give you another chance. It's so weird for me to even think like this now because I was the girl who didn't care and wanted nothing to do with you even if you apologized. After reading this book called " When Sorry Isn't Enough by Gary Chapman," it changed my life, and I can see how important it is to give people a chance and just hear them out especially if they are trying to fix things. I am a work in progress, and when people do me wrong I'm willing to give out second chances but three strikes you're out because you've shown me that you aren't willing to fix your behavior and you didn't take what I said into consideration or acknowledged how your past behavior bothered me. Just remember you should give people the same amount of chances you would want, and I am working on treating people the way I would want to be treated.
