WHY I DONāT REACT TO EVERYTHING.
Iām 'Slowly' Learning That I Donāt Have To React To 'Everything' That Bothers Me.
Iām slowly learning that I donāt have to hurt those who hurt me.
Iām slowly learning that maybe the 'ultimate' sign of maturity is walking away instead of getting even.
Iām slowly learning that the energy it takes to react to every bad thing that happens to me drains me and stops me from seeing the other good side of things in life.
Iām slowly learning that Iām not going to be everyoneās cup of tea and I wonāt be able to get everyone to treat me the way I want to be treated 'and thatās okay.'
Iām slowly learning that trying so hard to āwinā Everyone is just a 'waste' of time and energy and it fills me with 'nothing' but emptiness.
Iām slowly learning that not reacting doesnāt mean Iām okay with things, it just means Iām choosing to 'rise' above it.
Iām choosing to take the 'lesson' it has served and learn from it Iām choosing to be 'the bigger' person.
Iām choosing my 'peace of mind' because thatās what I 'truly' need. I donāt need more drama. I donāt need people making me feel like Iām not good enough. I donāt need fights and arguments and 'fake' connections. Iām slowly learning that sometimes 'not' saying anything at all says everything.'
Iām slowly learning that reacting to things that upset me gives someone else power over 'my' emotions.
I canāt control what others do but i can control how i respond, how i handle it, how i perceive it and 'how much of it' i want to take personally. Iām slowly learning that most of the time, these situations say nothing about me and a lot about the other person.
Iām slowly learning that even if I react, it wonāt change anything, it wonāt make people suddenly love and respect me, it wonāt magically change their minds.
Sometimes itās better to just let things be, let people go, 'donāt' fight for closure, 'donāt' ask for explanations, 'donāt' chase answers and 'donāt' expect people to understand me.
Enough word for the wise.
