1st instinct
Posted On 05/24/2008 20:17:03 by jd

i'm having people problems.  it hurts.  my first instict is to retaliate, lash out, be mean.

upon spending MORE time alone i realize that isn't the right way.  that's the way of the flesh.  i'm trying very hard to live by the spiritual way.

man, does it hurt.  i also realize this problem could be in my own head. 

i can only work on me.  i can only change me.  accept everything else, accept what i can't change and do what is right, not what i want.

and pray, and wait and hope i gain peace w/ the situation.

just spilling a bit.  thanks.

You sound like me and it is hard.  Placing it before God is all I can do.
You Rock!

Glad you are sharing-it is a natural reaction to retaliate when attacked,

I had to learn to consciously stop myself, one breath at a time- Nia

You aren't alone... I often find myself reacting (being the keyword) in the same way. As long as I stop to think of how those instinctive habitual behaviors rendered my life unmanagable to begin with, it gets better when I let go and let God.

darn the "It's-All-About-Me" syndrome. :/

This is a good place to spill I use to spill at those around me; now that made no sense at all!  I keep trying to turn it over to God, but that is a talent I need to work at a whole lot more.   At least your's is a controlled spill; growing pains hurt.  Peace and God bless!

     Yeah, I've always said if it wasn't for everyone else my life would be simple. I find often if I didn't fiddle with it I'd be better off, so I too try to not complicate it by reacting badly. Most times it works.
     If you can, give it to God, that works best for me...
YFIR,
Dennis

Thank you for sharing.  I struggle with this myself.
