Sometimes when you let it out, whether it be crying or screaming at someone, it just feels better. Wait…you feel better. It might not make the other person feel good because you are screaming at them or crying in their beer but better is better. If it makes you feel better then do it. You need to do for yourself. Sometimes being the selfish one is what is needed. Not all the time, but just when you need it.
Then sometimes you need to listen. Listening is also a tool that is not used enough. Sometimes I will be in a group of people and the most interesting part is just listening to them talk. Some people just want to hear themselves. Some just want to talk over others. Some just talk to sound interesting or just want to say something for the “shock-value”. Those people are the most boring of all!
I find that if you wait before you react then you can get a calmness about you and around you, then what you say in return sounds much more intelligent and you can get your point across much easier.
We all need a lesson or two in our lifetime. Why not? It will help us all learn and grow. Is that not a powerful lesson? growth and learning? yes, indeed!
Peace out!
