Mind Over Matter

Every now and then there are time that you got to dig deep and pull our inner strength for the power of mind over matter.

In life, there will always be people around you, that would take cheap shot to pull you down. Be it hurtful words, betrayal, attack on your principle, ruining your reputation or anything else that you have set a standard to in life.

In these situation, the hurt turn to frustration then to anger. If it is not handle well, it takes a toll on you, drain your energy and leave you with a negative soul that effect innocent love ones or good friends around you.

While I always believe it is important to confront issue head on, it is even more important that before you confront the issue. You need to identify what you want to achieve at the end of day, It could be the intention of the cheap shots, the cause, to identify whom are the trouble maker, the truth, etc.

The reason why you need to identify what you want to achieve prior to confronting the issue, it is so that you could established limits in your emotion.

A lot of people when they handle issue without establishing "limits" carry on like a headless chicken. They would eventually be emotionally drain out and broken, even if they prove to be the winner in the argument but they lost emotionally.

You see, human being is a heavily emotional creature. It is easy to lose control over emotion. When these happen, stupid things happen, words that you don't mean to say is said, and one don't rational over thing carefully, hence you don't achieve anything at the end of it.

In one conversation, a friend once said that why argue with people that has less brain power than you, no matter how right you are they can just never comprehend the truth as they don't have enough capacity in their brain to realize it. Have pity on them. LOL.

On another school of thought, don't ever argue with those people that is taking these cheap shots. You will just waste your time.

My life experiences taught me that if you don't confront issue, overtime their lies become the truth and you got no one else to blame other than your cowardice for not saying a word.

So remember, if you ever decide to confront issue head one... Start with a plan, take your time in mapping your strategy and most importantly prior to confronting, Establish the end goal so to have limits on emotion

Separate the issue and your emotion. Once you confront and found the end goal, step out of it and move on. It doesn't matter if you lose the conversation what matter is you found the answer to the question your searching for.

Everything else has no value to you and to your emotion. And if it still does upset you, dig deep as all of these is in the power of mind over matter, if you don't mind, it doesn't matter.

What truly matter is at the end of the day is you had your say, and you are capable to step out on all of it and live with a peace of mind.

Hope this helps.
