REACTING TO EVERYTHING

I'm 'Slowly' Learning That I Don't Have To React To 'Everything' That Bothers Me.

I'm slowly learning that I don't have to hurt those who hurt me.

I'm slowly learning that maybe the 'ultimate' sign of maturity is walking away instead of getting even.

I'm slowly learning that the energy it takes to react to every bad thing that happens to you drains you and stops you from seeing the other good things in life.

I'm slowly learning that I'm not going to be everyone's cup of tea and I won't be able to get everyone to treat me the way I want to be treated 'and that's okay.'

I'm slowly learning that trying so hard to 'win' anyone is just a 'waste' of time and energy and it fills you with 'nothing' but emptiness.

I'm slowly learning that not reacting doesn't mean I'm okay with things, it just means I'm choosing to 'rise' above it.

I'm choosing to take the 'lesson' it has served and learn from it I'm choosing to be 'the bigger' person.

I'm choosing my 'peace of mind' because that's what I 'truly' need. I don't need more drama. I don't need people making me feel like I'm not good enough. I don't need fights and arguments and 'fake' connections. I'm slowly learning that sometimes 'not' saying anything at all says everything.'

I'm slowly learning that reacting to things that upset you gives someone else power over 'your' emotions.

You can't control what others do but you can control how you respond, how you handle it, how you perceive it and 'how much of it' you want to take personally. I'm slowly learning that most of the time, these situations say nothing about you and a lot about the other person.

I'm slowly learning that even if I react, it won't change anything, it won't make people suddenly love and respect me, it won't magically change their minds.

Sometimes it's better to just let things be, let people go, 'don't' fight for closure, 'don't' ask for explanations, 'don't' chase answers and 'don't' expect people to understand where you're coming from.

I'm slowly learning that life is 'better lived' when you 'don't' center it on what's happening around you and 'center it on' what's happening 'inside you' instead.

'Work' on yourself and your inner peace and you'll come to 'realize' that 'not' reacting to every little thing that bothers you is the 'first ingredient' to living a happy and healthy life.

I am slowly learning that no one is who they say they are. Most people have a hidden agenda.

I am slowly learning that reading posts of that length challenges my concentration span.
I am slowly learning that there isn't always a pearl of wisdom at the end of the post.

If the shoe fits,then wear it.

If the post is too challenging for you, or if you find no wisdom in it, then move along onto another thread... nobody pulled you by your hand to come read this one.

And yes,i'm only reacting cos i'm SLOWLY learning not to react to everything. LoL

True story.

The world is made up of all different kinds of people.... Who/how they are shouldn't negetively affect who/how we are... it could either give us a lesson or an experience... both ways we win cos we learn as we live.

I too am SLOWLY learning about these posts, which is why I continue reading them, in case the outcome is different. But it's not.
