Stop the DRAMA




Every person who shows up in our lives has something to teach us - and usually these are NOT the people who tell us good things; who appreciate us and who are kind to us - BUT people who irritate, anger and push our buttons.

I remember the saying, "He who angers you, controls you!" 

So, it won't help even if we run away and move someplace else! Because, until we learn the lesson, He/She, They, It will still be there in whatever form - to annoy and mess our lives! Lol!

They are our teachers! Our great teachers! 

I have my own great teacher too! Who is? My very own husband! Lol!

Well, it think we are soul mates, since he said I do the same to him! Lol!

But then really, sometimes we need to pick our battles. 

Until we master self-control, patience and tolerance, I guess, we will always have reasons to get angry, annoyed, irritated and sometimes it's not about the other person, but about how we are feeling deep inside. 

Come to think of it, if we are at peace, accepting and loving, I am sure we will be feeling otherwise. Right? 

Nobody could hurt us without our permission. But if we are, then there's a lesson there.We may need to learn, heal from it or recognize its existence.

Bottom line: We will all see the purpose of the experience and we will all learn the lesson in time. 

I just hope and pray that it happens soon, so we won't have as much drama or "tele-novelas" with our lives.

NAMASTE.

  1. I think the best lessons in life is learning to be patient and humble. Having these things will be your stronger weapons when having problems, I mean no one can upset you eventhough they downsize you, no one can judge you except God

  2. Controlling one's emotion no matter who angers you is really important as ultimately how you react is always your choice.

  3. emotions really flare up our personality if released in a good way ...I have realized this only few years back after a life turning event ...i could have done it differently but my anger/emotion overwhelmed me.

  4. These DRAMA that you call is the spice of life. It may ruin a relationship if not being controlled but if it's just an argument to settle differences or a way of releasing anger... it can be a good means of communication. Openness is needed to build a stronger foundation.

  5. Haaay Ms. Gemma.. currently dealing with this situation. I also hope that in time (hopefully very soon), everyone will be able to get through such annoyances in life. But thank you for sharing this part of your life with us. Makes it even more real. But we all know, it can be surpassed. :)

  6. I always believe that the best lessons in life are those situations or circumstance that we experience personally. How we react to it depends on our maturity. =)

  7. Uncontrolled anger leads us to do and say things that we will only regret later.

  11. We make our own lives. I try to focus on the good side. What others think of me is not my business, anyway.

  12. I'm also dealing with same situation. I can't really get over to these control freaks, and why am I so annoyed by them I should read more on this topics to help me sort this mess out.

  13. Great inspirational post! It's VERY difficult to accept the fact that anger and hurt is an emotion we allow, until we actually realize that forgiveness is something within our control as well. I have learned this the hard way. When we begin to see that behind every hurt is a valuable lesson on life and how to handle it, we'll definitely sleep better at night.

  14. I think we have this kind of people around because their mission in life really is not to test how far we can go in terms of anger management and control but to show us how we can practice patience and humility in our life.;)
