Have you ever gotten so frustrated wishing annoying people would change so your relationship with them would get better? I have so totally been guilty of that!
Instead of that, what I try doing now is the above quote on loving someone.
It's not always the easiest thing to do, but think of the times you have really messed up or hurt someone by just not thinking a situation through far enough, and how awesome it felt to be forgiven, or even if not totally forgiven, loved anyway is spite of the hurt you caused.
What also helps me is to remember that I will ALWAYS be disappointed if I expect my "Oranges" show up as "Apples". Oranges aren't apples and will NEVER show up that way, so I can avoid a lot of resentment and disappointment on my part by remembering that!
Have a Truly Sparkly Day My Loves!
