'What goes around comes around'. Even people who have no time for karmic laws of cause and effect accept scientific principles surrounding 'action causes reaction'. Perhaps, you are on the receiving end of action you took some time

Many of us have experienced the 'oops, I wish I hadn't said that' or 'I wish I hadn't sent that email or text' scenario. By not engaging our brains before we speak or hastily pushing a send button, we often end up wishing we'd showed restraint. There are right and wrong ways of making your point or venting frustration toward a certain person. Causing them to become defensive and resentful toward you is not one of them.
When we post a letter, send an email or a text, we cannot expect an instantaneous reply. A grace period of time has to be allowed in order for the other person to acknowledge receipt or respond. Sometimes, this can be almost instantaneous. Other times, it isn't. Nevertheless, time must be given to allow you-know-who to take it on board. Their response is likely to be swifter than you anticipated You see something one way. Someone else sees it another. Such is the way of life on this planet. Everyone is after all, entitled to their opinion but when you are
able to spot glaringly huge holes in their argument, it just spurs you on to make your point more strongly. Some people love an argument. Others prefer to respond with silence to verbal confrontation. Words can be very hurtful but sometimes, silence can hurt more. It's easier to agree than disagree. People like it when we agree. It means they don't have to invest precious energy trying to convince us of something. They also like it when we agree with them because it creates a perceived balance or preferred imbalance in our relationship with them. Just because you have been successful doesn't mean you have to look
down on others who are trying. Just because your dreams have come true, doesn't mean you aren't tender to the dreams of others. Just because you have a strong position or argument doesn't mean you have to be condescending to others. You have been in pleasant places; it means it is important that you help create pleasant places for others If something doesn't feel right, please listen, stop and don't ignore that nudge, voice, or pull. Why press ahead when it could be further
placing you in danger or difficulty. Some people hurt us because we let our guard down and allow poor
behavior just because of the ties and the closeness to them. They tend to exhibit the worst of themselves and think we will still be there for them. Only those who are close to you can hurt you. We sometimes believe we have the true measure of some situations. We take at face value what's happening in areas of our world and decide our assumptions are correct and that's all there is to it. We then base actions on these assumptions. For as long as we're unable to see the reality behind some situations, we mistakenly invest too much faith based on how we think they appear.
Rules and regulations, they're everywhere. It’s as if some people do little else other than spending their days coming up with more. We all recognize how some rules are needed. Yet, some are ridiculous and many still in force today date back centuries
In the morning, it’s difficult for our minds to kick into high gear by pursuing a
list of important tasks. Within a few minutes, we’re frantically running around trying to get everything and everyone organized. When we start our morning by filling our minds with high voltage activity, we usually spend the rest of the day feeling anxious and stressed. Instead, take a break and try something different. Tomorrow morning, set aside a few moments to fill your mind and soul with calm. Before you jump out of bed, enjoy a few minutes of peaceful relaxation. Reflect on the importance of harmony, serenity and balance in your life. When you start each day this way, you will have more energy and tolerance for what lies ahead. You will be able to handle the unexpected with ease. |
