One thing I realized today.
Why do I get angry or frustrated sometimes?
I may not be angry about something I think I'm angry about.
Instead I am angry about myself. (means what I think I'm angry about is not so important actually...)
I noticed that when I feel angry, I am becoming defensive about something. And what makes me angry is my becoming defensive about something.
Then, why did I become defensive?
I feel somebody does not understand me but tries to advise me something based on what I think is misunderstanding. This makes me defensive. I want to say "You don't understand me."
So, the lesson I learned:
When I get angry, try to check if I am angry about something or I am getting defensive for some reason.
If the latter is the case, then find out why I am getting defensive.
And my suggestion to myself as an effort to solve this problem is in one word "appreciation"
Imagine if there's no one who recognizes you, appreciates you, talks to you, cares about you, wishes your victory/growth/development/success, etc.
At least you are having someone who does these things above, which is causing you to become defensive. Why not change it to appreciation of having such person instead of "none"
It is ok to be misunderstood by somebody even by the most beloved person, as long as you know what you are doing. Being misunderstood wouldn't decrease your value. And God knows what's happening.
And usually the case is God has some message or advice to give to you through that person if you attentively listen to what he would want to say to you through that person (whether that person misunderstands you or not)
So, if you stay focused on God, or what he would want to give to you, then, you will end up catching the message which surely help your growth and victory. Then, you would eventually be grateful to that person for becoming such a mediator (whether that person misunderstood you or not)
So, it is totally up to you (your attitude) to benefit yourself out of it, or, lose another chance.
