Rise above the Yuck
In life we are going to have times that are painful and times that break us. We are sometimes powerless to defend ourselves from the attacks that come. We are faced with a decision at this point. How do we fight these attacks once they have happened?
There are several ways we can fight. We can fight silently. Sometimes we do not need to speak our opposition to be heard. Sometimes we need to let others fight for us. We are given the right people in life at the right times. Their words may be better received than our own. Sometimes prayer is the only answer.
No matter which route is right for the place you are at in life you also have a choice to rise above. You can take the high road. Why throw stones and act petty. Take that road less traveled and don't take the bait. When life or the people in it attack, you get to choose how you react. Let's be honest though, our first reaction sometimes is not the one we choose to continue with. Take time and reflect. Taking that pause can allow you to calmly and logically figure our the best way to handle the yuck that has presented itself.
Don't sink to the level of others around you. Don't let the yuck cause you to act in a way that is not fitting with who you are. Be true to yourself. Rise above the yuck!
