I hope these thoughts give you something to ponder while you enjoy your morning beverage. As you go about your day, I invite you to take some time to reflect on your observations. Consider if there’s anything you can do to enhance your life, such as looking into the mirror and appreciating yourself. You may also find a way to make the world more beautiful with a simple act of kindness, like holding the door open without expecting a thank you. You may also want to consider if you have a gift to share with the world. Perhaps you have some untapped talent you may regret wasting, as we sometimes do with unused towels or our good china. I hope you find them enjoyable and return for more tomorrow.
Arguments
Arguments can be beneficial to a relationship.
If we do not argue, the relationship can become toxic. If we allow frustrations to build, they can turn to anger.
Unfortunately, anger can bring a relationship to an end. However, if we learn to release our short-term frustrations constructively, it can benefit the relationship.
When we allow ourselves to tell someone what is bothering us in a respectful manner, we can grow new pathways to a better future with one another.
At the same time, we want to monitor how much we complain. If we tell someone everything that bothers us, the person may feel criticized. Therefore, we should consider what Is bothering us and determine if it is accurate or imagined.
Often, the story we tell ourselves is incorrect and unfair to the other person. Hence, we need to examine the story, go back to what brought on the frustration, and define it according to the current experience.
Also, we must allow others the same respect of listening to their frustrations.
Today’s challenge:
Remember, not all arguments are toxic and can benefit everyone involved.
