So often we react to events, problems, people and much more. When we react with anger, comments, concerns, irrational thinking, we often cause more of a problem.
If we simply sat back and refused to react, to an argument, we would be throwing cold water on the fire and in so doing put it out, instead of causing a real blazer!
If we live to blame others from our life to ensure that we get some vindictive pleasure from seeing them suffer at our expense, do we win or lose? Often we lose, and become bitter and even more self centred.
When we refuse to react, we bring about a peace that is not false, stolen or coverted, a peace that lasts in the heart.
Next time someone really annoys you try not responding with negative or counterproductive comments, try simply walking away. Inside you will be fuming, like a fire in its raw state, boiling with anger, or cool with guilt or retribution. But, a few calm breaths and guess what? You are the winner not the loser, you have successfully thwarted the target of the opponent in your life. You will find that the situation you reacted too will be calmer far quicker than before.
Life is for living, bringing the light of God into our lives and those around us, when we get angry and bad mouth, we turn off the light and blow the circuit. When you give someone a peace of your own mind, you definately lose your own peace, centre of calm and inner light, is it really worth it?
