Usually it Has Nothing To Do With You

Hi,

I got a reponse to my last blog that I thought was great in my message box.

(Hey, by the way guys, if you have a good response or thought on one of my blogs consider posting it as a comment so everyone can share it)

Anyway, in essence, this person said that a lot of us lose our cool when we get static thrown our way because we take things personally.

That's another one of my mother's rules. She says that when people get upset with you typically it reflects what going on in their lives not yours.

Most people spend the majority of their time thinking about themsleves. Their day. Their insecurities. Their problems. In fact, they are usually so innudated by their own emotions it's hard for them to see past their own problems to consider what going on with others. And that's just the way it is. Nothing to get mad or judgmental about. We're all human.

Anyway my mom often says the same thing as did the woman who sent me a message which is:

If some one let's anger fly in your direction, take it for what it's worth, which is usually not much (unless YOU'VE been acting a fool, in which case you need to check your program) Otherwise remember what momma says:

"You have no idea what's going on with them, something bad might be going on in their lives and odds are its more about that than you. Even if that's not true why would you let someone else's attitude take over your day? You already have enough problems of your own. Be smart about it."

Peace.
