DON’T OFFEND ME πŸ™ƒπŸ˜ΆπŸ˜πŸ˜’

“Don’t provoke me to anger. Don’t provoke me to anger” he squeezed his face and hands as his feet tapped to his weird song I think he composed.

I described a scene from one of the music or talent auditions where amazing people show talents they don’t have, and family members dont stop them from going.

How do you deal with offences?

How do you respond?

How do you react?

How do you cope?

There are things we cannot avoid as existing humans, and one of them is: Getting offended

Somebody will step on your toes but the most important part is how you react and handle these situations when you are confronted with them.

So the questions lies in: What kind of offences are even the important ones? Or… .What kind of offences can we ignore?

I will not give specifics because… We are all different and have different principles that organize our lives.

But

I will say that; the offences which really have nothing to do with harming us, offences that we can shut our ears too. You know them…

Okay, let me give example πŸ™„πŸ™„

If someone calls you big head, you can decide to ignore especially if you dont have big head πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

If someone stepped on your real toes, you can ignore. He or she will remove their shoes πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

If someone insulted you, you dont have to insult back 😁😁

If. . . .. πŸ˜†πŸ˜†

Truth be told there are issues which can just let the sleeping dog lie.

These issues will not produce any fruitful results when you decide to dwell om them.

The questions you need ask yourself are:

  • What will I gain from doing this?
  • What change am I expecting?
  • What impact will it make?
  • Will my response have an effect on the other person? Like will it help them?
  • Will I even get relieved from my annoyance or will it escalate?
  • Will? What?

Whatever.. .you want to add. .🐜🐜

There are certain situations you will need to confront people on and even in those situations you dont have to spit out your opinions anyhow. Dont spit like LlamasπŸ˜’πŸ˜’. I mean you dont have to be abusive or insulting, you will still not pass your message across.

It is best you pick your words and the most suitable ones for that situations and intelligently trash it out. Intelligent words will stick when you are confronting another for a wrong doingπŸ™‚

Dont express yourself when you are extremely angry. It is best you do it when you feel more comported, you will pass your message better.

You can close your(I wanted to say ya) eye and walk(waka) past 🚢🚢🚢🚢

In the book of Proverbs 17:28, it says “A fool, when he holds his mouth is considered wise. ..”(Paraphrased). There are so many passages talking on that in this book. I find this very funny πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚. You got(gat) to hold your mouth. Your opinion must not be spilled all the time especially when you are angry! πŸ™ƒπŸ™ƒ

Dont store offences and dont go looking for one. Save yourself unnecessary stress.

Stress can cause peptic ulcer πŸ™ƒπŸ™ƒ and compromise your health too. If you are always on the edge looking for who will offend you, you are putting yourself in an uncomfortable situation for nothing.

Just know that people will offend you. You cannot avoid it but you can always deal with your response πŸ’

Maturity comes at a price. ..

And handling offences is one of them.

if you have a bad temper, anger issues, please see a doctor. Deal with it. Go for therapy. Go for a dance class. Go gyming. Go do charity. Go wash toilet…. .

Direct your excess emotions to creativity, to productivity. Make the world better🌫

Especially before you involve someone else in your life, deal with these issues very well.

I have met certain humans who have and tried and tested my patience. N. B I did not always win

I have met humans who had great control over their emotions. N. B they taught me so much 😊

We need more rational people, more matured people. Can you be one of them?

Finally: I listened to Lauvie Ajayi on Ted Talk on Youtube and she sparked me more πŸ’ž. Stand for the right, they may not like you but they will respect you.. .

Me in my corner, climbing the steps gradually πŸ“ˆπŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺ

I did a podcast on this topic, I said somethings I did not say here and plus music too 😁😁. Don’t Offend Me

Have a productive day 🌻🌿
