You Can't Win

Listening to: You Can't Win By Kelly Clarkson



So, as I'm listening to this song, it occurs to me how true this song  is. Here's the thing, everyone has an opinion on everyone and everything. I was just complaining the other day that it is so tiring to have an opinion on anything or to make any kind of decision because everyone in my life wants to know why I made the decision that I did. Whether it's my family who's concerned that I'm making the right choices, a co-worker who asked me  my political and religious views so that they can argue with me or some complete stranger who has decided I'm some kind of idiot because of my age, gender or ethnicity, there is no way I can win. At all or ever.

So, now I'm going to throw in some religious stuff that applies. Don't go away just yet. My pastor was preaching on the UnPresidential Servant. He was talking about Jesus. His ultimate implications for this sermon was that you have to expect people to disagree with your views. No matter what they are. He also said that we should do more and talk less, choose wisely and be discerning. His final point was that Jesus is the Christian Commander-in-Chief. But yeah, my point in bringing this sermon up is that people are going to disagree with my beliefs and my actions but as long as my views are sound and my actions are fair(definition: giving everyone the opportunity to have a chance) then I need to forge ahead and stand by them no matter what happens. But of course, I will apologize if along the way I am wrong too. You'd be surprised how many people wouldn't.

I wanted to post the sermon up here too, but it's not posted on my church's  website yet, will do so when it is.
