We’re all vulnerable to the sting and hurt of a harsh word, a criticism, or an undeserved judgment – delivered, usually, by someone we care about, and usually surprising us and coming out of nowhere. Ouch! Double ouch!! Oftentimes these poison arrows stop us dead in our tracks – they knock the proverbial wind out us, and, even once we’re up and moving again, it can be hard to let go of the hurt and anger we tell ourselves has been inflicted upon us by the offender. I’ve got some good news, and no bad news, so, I guess it’s the good news first! There is a way to avoid the hurt and anger we feel when those scallywags we call our friends and family get in our face. When that first arrow hits remind yourself of this fact – that what someone else says about you, or does to you, has nothing at all to do with you, and everything - I said, EVERYTHING, to do with them! We are all at choice to come from a place of love or fear in this life. By choosing to come from a place of love for yourself and for the one who has ‘dissed’ you, this enables you to clearly see that the offender is afraid, and coming from a place of fear. Fear is the emotion that is driving their words and actions – not love. Once you incorporate this ‘tool’ into your everyday life, all relationships will become much easier to establish, to maneuver, to nurture, and to grow. Good luck!
