Life Lessons Learned in 20s: "What's Yours is Yours, What's NOT is NOT, It Can't be Forced"
Welcome to week 4 of my new series on Life, Faith &Love titled Life Lessons Learned in my 20's. Every Saturday, I will be posting a new blog of a story sent to me by one of YOU. I have loved reading all of your stories so far and I am so excited to share some of these lessons with you guys. This week life lesson stems from ME! You guys my 20's has taught me A LOT of lessons. Some more than I wanted, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. I title my life lesson, "What is Yours is Yours, What is NOT is NOT, It Can't be Forced."
Titiana: "Growing up I had a bad habit of forcing and pushing until I got what I wanted. When it came to my parents allowing me to go out with my friends, at times I would persistently ask until they would say yes. This trait is both good and bad. My persistence and inability to give up on things, is part of what pushed me through pharmacy school and accomplishing my other goals in life. My persistence and determination was sometimes bad in dating/relationships.
I think if you are married, persistence and determination is a good trait, but when you are dating, it can go either way. To cut the long story short, I was in a long term relationship with a guy for a good amount of time. In that season of my life I really wanted that relationship to work. Due to the stress in the relationship, most people would have given up earlier on and moved on quickly. My emotions, determination, and persistent nature kept me in that relationship. Eventually the relationship ended, which I know was part of God's plan for my life, but in order to grow from the experience I reflected and asked myself what I learned most.
The number one thing I can say I learned is, you can not force something to be yours that is not yours. If something/someone is yours, things will naturally fall into place, at the right time and in the right manner. This doesn't mean everything will be perfect, you will face challenges, but it should not feel as if you are forcing something that just isn't for you. Moral of the story, if you feel like you are forcing a friendship/relationship with someone, let it go. God has something He hand-crafted specifically for you. Once you let go it allows Him to place the right people in your life."
