If you can stop taking things personally, you will be happier. I am pretty sure that everyone knows about this; however, it
is easier said than done.
I have never thought carefully about it until one day when I
found myself being frustrated with other people’s actions. Let me share my
experience with you.
I went to the store; as I walked into the front door, the lady pushed a shopping cart toward me because the exit and the entrance were the
same. So I stopped to let her out. And while I was stepping back, I didn’t know
that there was another lady behind me. I accidentally stepped on her foot; I said
sorry to her but seemed like she didn’t accept my apology. I could tell from her
attitude because she gave me a dirty look. Her behavior bothered me, and I felt
like my mood was ruined.
This is just one example of situations in my routine life.
As we are human beings, we can’t avoid facing unpleasant circumstances. I have
realized that I can’t control people’s behaviors, attitudes, and unpredicted incidents.
If I still let myself get frustrated, I would never be happy
because there will always be an unpleasant incident. When things frustrate me, I
need to change my attitude and stop taking things personally. What others say
or do is not about me; it’s about them. Now I have found myself being happier since
that day, I have changed my attitude.
I hope you can do it as I did and you will be happier.
Stop taking things personally!

ReplyDeleteHello! I know this is somewhat off-topic however I had to ask. Does operating a well-established website like yours take a large amount of work? I'm brand new to blogging however I do write in my diary on a daily basis. I'd like to start a blog so I can share my own experience and views online. Please let me know if you have any kind of suggestions or tips for new aspiring bloggers. Appreciate it! itunes login account
Hello,
ReplyDeleteSorry for lately replying. I would say it depends on how you manage your time. If possible you should post every day or if can't at least 3 times a week should be fine. Consistency is key.
Good luck!
