Everyone has to do things they don’t want to do from time to time, if not every day. For some going to work or dealing with certain people can be situations that you don’t find pleasurable, but yet you have to encounter the situation on a daily basis. Maybe you have a co-worker that you disagree with or a relative you have differences with. Whatever the situation may be, due to circumstances beyond your control, you have to encounter them.

We can either react to the situation or we can sit back and take a moment to put things in perspective. Reacting can sometimes worsen the incident. Sometimes a moment of silence or even a smile can make dealing with a difficult situation more manageable

Not all situations benefit from silence. Sometimes we need to address issues that disturb us and talk things out with either a confidant or even the person you have issues with directly. The key is to take the time out to examine our feelings and motives. Reacting out of anger instead of a loving position can leave scars. So take the time to know what you are saying before you say it.

But for moments when you are unable to remove yourself from the situation, know that you don’t have to do it forever. When we look at situations in increments we are able to realize that all things are limited by time. Knowing that you don’t have to do something forever makes the current moment more livable and more manageable.
