When you receive an invite to an argument, you have one of two decisions:
Option A)
- Accept invite to argument
- Elevate blood pressure
- Look stupid
- Regret it later
Option B)
- Ignore invite to argument
- Go on with day peacefully
- Calm and happy
Ahhh yes.
Which one sounds better?
I’ll take Option B with a side of option B please.
Much easier said than done though.
In real-time it’s much more difficult to deflect.
What if it’s in front of other people and I look like a coward?
What if they keep going because I don’t stick up for myself?
All legit questions.
But ask yourself, what’s worse:
Letting someone else think you’re weak or accepting the anger into your own mind and body?
I say, instead of meeting anger with anger.
Meet anger with empathy.
You can always choose not to accept the invite 🙂
One Question:
If money wasn’t a thing and you could have any job in the world, what would it be and why?
Feel free to send me your answers, I’d love to read them.
