Check Your Coat at the Door.

I have noticed that a lot of people like to wear nice coats. Although today the coats that I am going to talk about may not be by your favorite designer. It is apparent that many of of us wear our coats year around. Hopefully this post will wake those of us who do this without knowing it.

In this life there are only a few things that are guaranteed. One we all will die sooner or later and the second being we will all experience pain at the hands of someone else. Although we do not put a lot of focus on the first the second we do all we can in order to prevent it from happening. Thus the idea of us wearing coats. I chose to use the term "wearing a coat" instead of "carrying baggage". for one simple reason it just seemed to fit better. No one is going to walk around carrying a set of luggage and not know it, however you can wear a coat and forget that you are doing so. Therefore the term just seemed to fit better,

Often we will meet people who we do not quite understand. They may have peculiar ways or interesting beliefs, but yet we can seem to get along with them. The thing that we often find ourselves at odds with is that person who is holding on to the pain of their past. It is hard to get to know someone or even talk rationally with someone who refuses to let go of their past. We as people have to learn how to allow those new people in our lives to be who they are without passing judgment on them or even convicting them for the wrongs of others. We all have been and will get hurt at some stage in life. it is just going to happen so do we need to live everyday waiting for it or trying to avoid. Or should we just learn to live our lives to the fullest and throw caution to the wind. As for me I believe that we should live for the moment and embrace the love and hopefulness as it comes. Too often we block the good things in life trying to avoid the bad.

Before we can be truly comfortable in any environment we must first remove our coats when entering into the building. In this case the building is the relationship. The other reason for this is whenever someone comes into your home or office and does not take off their coat it gives you the impression that they do not intend on staying long. And do i need to point out the obvious, If they are not staying long then why waste the time. I believe that many of us do this without even thinking about it. It just happens.

So the next time you enter into a Building please remember to check your coat at the door.
