How do you deal with the everyday hustle and bustle of others... It's called self-control. We can all benefit from it. Are you always upset with others. Chances are this is one article you want/need to Read!
We get so worked up over others. What they do, don't do. Who they are how they are.
Really even though we won't admit it we are only upset because we expect that they should or would do something different . Our own perception is what causes us to go in deep offense. Why is it that we are driving around angry at the person in front of us is slow... Because we want every one to speed like us? How about looking into someone else's life and saying If I were them I would have done this. Well you are not them and if you were, you would've done what they did, because you are them. Look people lets control what we can. I can recall as a child seeing a psychiatrist because I deeply wanted my mother to leave a man she was dating. My father died and the guy she was dating violently hurt her. I was ready to do what ever I could to get her to leave.. I won't go into what I did lets just say it lead me to seek therapy. The lady spoke so clearly and said you can only control yourself and how you react to the situations in your life. I was 17 then and now I am thirty, I will say what piece of advice. I still follow this today! The bible teaches us to have patience and take a clear look at the plank in our eye first. How many get upset with the car in front instead of leaving 15 minutes early? We want people to fit us, but we don't want to have self control. How many times have you heard when they did this I just flipped out, I was so mad! Well who's fault is that. People love to blame others for every issue in their lives.. Come on people it is time to grow up! You can't control what others do. You are however responsible for your self control! It is just immaturity and pride that flare up, When we are not in tune with self-control. Pride will always SHOUT I can't believe they did that to me. I deserve better.A truly humble person with self- control can see a situation.. Assess it and determine the motive behind it with out losing self- control. Here is the test! The next time someone loses self-control in a situation, don't say anything, ponder the thought that even if you say what is right they can't receive it anyway! Ask the holy spirit to guide you in dealing with this person. You see as we continue to blame others for our lack of character... We are not able to grow. We stay the same as silly as it sound until we mirror and reflect what is inside us and deal souly with issue of ourselves we stay the same. No one can do it but you.. Do it now Grow Up! Choose to love others despite of their actions and choose to fix what is broken inside instead of asking others to come and mend the rough spots. even if we hold the hole for a while, what ever is in there will find a way out. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. Clean it up.
