Should I let other people’s actions go?

While I was at my gig last night, a young girl who helped a friend ruin his marriage walked in and walked up to him while I was singing. I saw it and I was disgusted. He has just gotten his life back on track and has freed himself of her after she tossed him away once she was done proving that she could take him from his wife! Not nice! Anyway…I was singing so I couldn’t really do anything about it…Oh!... I have an idea! I do have a straw and some lyric cards… so I made some spit wads and started spitting them across the bar at her hoping she’d get distracted and walk away from him. When that didn’t work, I picked up an encyclopedia from the bookshelf behind me and as I started to throw it across the room, my keyboard player took it out of my hand ….oh…sorry…he was probably right. That may have been going a bit too far...especially since I was singing at the time.

I suppose that I'm still not all that great at ignoring other people's actions. I'm going to work on this so I can spend a little more time worrying about me and not how other people's business affects me! My life and happiness really has no connection to the way other people see fit to live theirs. My mind will be less cluttered if I just allow others to screw up their own lives so I can focus on screwing up mine!...besides...shooting spit wads and singing "It's Raining Men", is really not easily multitasked!

My friends and I talk about this all the time.  We all try our hardest to the live the best lives we see fit.  We would all love to be with a great guy or walk off into the sunset hand in hand one day.  The trouble is that often we watch people running by us with "it all" on the low road while we walk slowly on the high one and wonder if maybe it would just be easier to compromise our values to get results.  I definitely compare my life to others way too often.  I can't imagine that the girls who are with the guys who are 25 years older than them and cheating on their wives with them really have it all but it is hard to watch and not wonder if you're doing something wrong in a world that moves at a snail's pace unless you lie and cheat and steal!  I'm happiest the way I am and just used the irony of the situation to tell the story!  Thanks again for reading!  For now...I suppose I'll keep living my own life because the way it is, is quite wonderful!  Have a very happy day!- calia

I can so relate to how you feel and I struggle with the same thing.

I have learned recently that what bothers me about someone else is usually a reflection of something in myself I am not dealing with.  Really how could someone make me feel disgusted if I didn't already have those feelings inside of me.

You intuited this in your last paragraph. It's easier said than done! Thank you for your blog!
