We are trained to avoid conflict. Don't argue. Listen to your parents. Don't question. Do. Work. Sweep it under the rug. Let time take care of it. Distract yourself.
These all work. But Not everytime.
Depending upon the situation. Our generation is exploring the power of conflicts. In a modern civilized and thoughtful manner. How? By listening to both sides. By changing the situation. Not the people.
And because, we can. We must. If not us, then who?
Do I want my child to be saddled with the shackles of the past? At the same time, do I want to fight every battle that comes my way?
Should I not look at better solutions?
So many thoughts are chasing one another. Whirling within me.
First, we really need to stop seeking validation. It gives others power to influence/manipulate our minds. We need to break this. We need to be able to say "yes. I will learn from my experiences. I will suffer the consequences."
Second, we need to turn a deaf ear on many things that upset us. Small stuff. Usually what we perceive was an insult or that particular tone of voice or choice of words or timing. Ignore. Ignore. Ignore. Ignore. Don't carry this burden nor do you need to 'sort' it. Our energy needs better outlet than setting every fool straight.
But, when you think you must... Dig in and fight. With all your might and heart and sincerity. Make sure you are fighting the right reasons though. Fight a cause. Not a person.
Third. Power of creativity. We need to really get on to harness this. I am a writer, I think/fancy. So, I write. So what if only a handful of you will read. It's good enough for me.
Even if none of you will read what I write, I will still write.
Fourth. Appreciation.
I am grateful. Whatever little that's stuck with me, I am grateful. I am happy. New day, rains, roses, smiles. People. Surviving so far.
Fifth. We all fail. We must. At one point or another. No failure is bigger or smaller. Just lessons. Little stumbling blocks. Stop judging yourself or defining yourself or anyone really, by those.
Sixth. Love yourself. If you don't, no one else will.
Seventh. Spread joy. Bring happiness. Shower love. Your actions might be wrong, but never let the intention be.
Allow yourself a break. Or that at times you too can break. But then again, get up. Love. Fight. Appreciate. Ignore. Create. Spread joy. Love. Ignore. Create. Spread joy. Appreciate.....
Repeat.
Regards ♥️
