This is a
serious question for me. One of my
biggest pet peeves is when people do not respect my time. I hate when people cancel on me, no matter how
good the reason. And I mean that
seriously. One time I was angry at my dad for missing out on plans we had
because my sister broke her arm and had to go to the hospital. Yes, I was nine at time, but the fact
remains.
In the past
week, several people cancelled on plans.
One of the biggest was my plans to attend “The Color Run.” In this situation, I yelled until I realized
that I was truly and unnecessarily hurting the person receiving. Other times I ignore until the person
understands that I am mad or I get over it myself.
And when I
get angry, I have problem letting things go.
It upsets me and weeks later I am still stewing in anger. When you stew, when you choose not to
forgive, you become less happy. Although
there are many exceptions, I have found that the less people you have grudges
against, the happier you become.
On the other
side, you must recognize that you should not let people push you are around. If the person seriously wronged you, if the
person is a bad influence, if the person takes without giving, then you should
let them know that you do not like what they have done. And although, I tend to let them know a
little louder than is normal, I recommend keeping your composure and calmly
taking them aside.
So, to
summarize, love as much as possible but hold your ground until if it is
important to you.
