Transfer of aggression has always been the case here. But something else happened to me, and I have learnt how to manage those ugly moments and turn them for my own good.
Welcome back to my blog this awesome Saturday morning. Happy to meet you All again.
When you see someone angry, it means that something is wrong somewhere. I have experience angry people sometimes in the past, and I begin to ask myself, " is this fellow mad? Is something wrong with him/her? Some times one may be thinking that the fellow just want to get angry to prove a point. But with my resent experience, I now understand that no one will just start purging, he/she must have eaten something that caused it.
The major problem here is the fact that people will always do something that will annoy you, but the manner in which I handle the situation is what matters. Because I can't expect a world free from things that could lead to annoyance.
Seeing every situation as an opportunity for me to advance is what has happened to me. When people annoy me, and I become very angry that I found it very difficult to forgive, I see it as a moment to pray for myself. I will assume that I still have problem with forgiving people who have offended me in any way.
Today, a friend of mine said something I never expected her to say, and when I try to present the matter to her she boldly told me that what she did was right, and that I was the one who was wrong. This is the person that I have been friends with for over a decade, but just today, I was shocked to hear her speak in the manner she spoke to me today. I wanted to be angry with her actions, but I then remembered that I am at fault actually. Because if my heart has been helped before now, I don't think that I will be unhappy with what she said and how she reacted when I met her.
That led me to pray for myself, asking God to help my heart, so that I will not easily become angry with people and start to reacted in the way I should not.
So, this way, I have been able to over come that ugly situation that was meant to hold me down with anger today, and I forgave My friend even when she is not even ready to ask for forgiveness. She is not even ready to accept her fault. But it is okay by me.
Friends, I am moving on like this, and I think is the best way to move on. No one will determine for me when to be happy or sad. It is all in my hands to be happy. My happiness is not in the hands of anyone.
I wish every in this community a very happy new month.
Forgiveness takes away the strength of the offense and weakens our offender. Certainly you did not expect your friend's reaction and that upset you greatly, but, you went to pray with God and the best solution or advice from God is precisely to forgive so that your emotions are not trapped in anger and rage.
Happiness is in your hands and not in the hands of others. I appreciate your message and I wish you the best on this day.
