Your Silence Speaks Volumes

How beautiful it is to remain silent when someone expects you to be enraged.

A large part of maintaining your inner peace is not allowing the words or actions of others to get to you. You must stay above the actions of others. Never allow anyone’s words or actions to rob you of your calm mind or inner peace.

Many people will intentionally try to push your buttons in order to get a reaction from you. They love it when they can upset someone else, because they understand that, if they can upset you, then they can control you at will. This makes them feel powerful; they feel like they can control your emotions and reactions like a puppet on a string.

Refuse to play that game! When someone is trying to push your buttons or is being rude and obnoxious, refuse to react. Maintain a calm mind and control your emotions. Refuse to become enraged; don’t give them that satisfactions. See their ploy for exactly what it is and refuse to step into their trap.

If you need to respond, then respond calmly and powerfully. This puts you in control of the situation instead of the other person. When you respond instead of react, you are in control — you win! Never let others control your actions. Bohdi Sanders ~ author of the multiple award-winning book, The Art of Inner Peace, available from Amazon at: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1937884279.
