Knowing Yourself

Knowing yourself is the best way to understand others. It’s not their behavior, it’s how you react that dictates the relationship!

We often find ourselves engaging in conversations or interactions with others who we find unexpectedly send us a sharp response, terse words or just plain poor behavior.

Did you ask for it or is it their stuff? Its up to you to decide how the conversation or future interactions will go. Most of the time when you are getting aggression or frustration from another person its due to fear. Something their fear is flaring up and in order to feel better, they hand a bit over to you. Is it appropriate or kind, of course not. This is how we are conditioned to respond in states of fear.

You however have the power not to react to the fear and respond with grace. This takes conditioning on your part. It takes you learning who you are and deciding what your life is about. It takes understanding you are here to help others not hurt them. When you are content within, responding to aggression is an easy answer. You choose to stay content and respond with understanding, compassion and grace. Such as “I understand you may feel that way and I am sorry if you are hurting, I believe in you to work it out. I choose to live with grace and love. We can discuss more when you are ready.”

This is you understanding yourself so well that you dont take their fears personal, you believe in resolution, and expect to live in peace. When you know this within, you project that strength and confidence and others will meet you there. Creating loving respectful relationships in your life.
