The Bigger Person...
These past few days, I am reading this book - The Ways of the Peaceful Warrior. I chanced upon a passage that seems to be cliche in terms of self development chuva, but upon further introspection, I realized that this is easier read than done.
"In life, we must not be reactive, we must be active." (or something to that effect)...
How can I do that if ...
"If you're hurt, can you not fight back?" (reactive)
"If you're being manipulated and feel so powerless, will you not push? (reactive)"
It easy to treat others as they will treat you, to give them a dose of their own medicine, but again, you must be the bigger person (figuratively and literally, haha) but I have to keep in mind that we are warriors, we should not be easily swayed by emotions. We all carry extra baggage and there’s a reason why people are that way.
Again, to choose, that's our gift - "to be mediocre and react" or "to be different and ACT"!
-AMEN!
P.S.
If you love someone, you'll move heaven and earth to get that person. I don't believe in mediocrity with regards to love, you fight for it, you bleed for it. If something is less than that, then you go play! hahaha. :) Hope na pareho kayo ng expecations.. hahahah :)
