What? Were you expecting something else?
You know, one thing in life that you cannot control is how others act. You cannot control what they do or say. You cannot control how they act or behave. You cannot control whether they are kind or less than kind to you.
What you can control is how you act, what you say, and how you treat others.
The Golden Rule has always been to treat others the way you would like to be treated yourself.
But, many people fall into the trap of treating others the way others treat them.
If you do that, you are letting others dictate how you will behave. You’re putting them in charge of you.
And, that’s not a situation you want to be in!
You want to be in charge of yourself, of your own life, of your own actions. You cannot do that if you are being controlled by the actions of others.
Even more worrisome is that some people don’t realize they are even being controlled!
You see, if someone can predict how you will react or respond to something, they have control over you! All they need do is treat you in such a way as to achieve their desired reaction from you.
Don’t be reactive! Be proactive. Treat people the way you would like to be treated, even if they don’t return the favor.
Of course, that doesn’t mean being a doormat, but what it does mean is taking control of your own actions and feelings and not letting others control them for you.
The benefit to you is that you can move forward. Anger, greed, hate, a desire for vengeance… These are things that can hold you back. They distract you from being productive, from doing useful and meaningful things. In other words, as Mark Twain said, “”Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.”
So, when you let others drive you to anger, to hate, to greed and so on, you allow them to slowly poison you from the inside out.
Don’t let that happen to you! You cannot take control of others but you can, and should, take control of you!
As always,
Believe. Act. Achieve!
