Being the Elephant in the room

As humans, we tend to treat others the way they treat us right? talk of tit for tat. When you are doing the right thing and you end up being treated unfairly, irritated, or intentionally abused it's easy to lose it so to speak. 

It's easy to speak your mind and let the other party have it, tell them like it is. What is hard is taking the hard way out, being calm in such a scenario, and not letting your rage get the best of you. So what am I saying? being the bigger person is unbelievably hard. Staying calm when you are being treated unfairly is hard, and not letting your anger get the best out of you is even harder.

So what are you telling us, Oliver, just let people run us over? use and abuse us as we just watch and not say anything? Absolutely not. What I am advocating here is being able to handle yourself, the point being, don't turn into 'them' while trying to justify the wrong. Become the bigger person in the room. By being calm and rising to the challenge tactfully you can even say your piece diligently and clearly trust me, it will be more beneficial to the particular situation, but even more important it will be of significant benefit to you.

Dare

The greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The people who risk nothing, do nothing, have nothing, are nothing. They may avoid suffering and sorrow, but they cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, and live. Chained by their attitudes they are slaves; they have forfeited their freedom. Only a person who risks is free. People, who risk may go through things that seem self-inflicting you know someone looking from the outside so to speak might ask what in the world is this guy thinking? why go through all that? why try you know how difficult it is? These are the people who don't risk anything thinking it's the best decision in the short term but in the long run, those who have risked are the ones who enjoy life, feel, change, find their path, grow, and live fulfilling lives. Just like a plant that is in a cocooned place will always look dull unlike a plant that faces all the elements, is usually more vibrant. Here is my point always try, risk, feel, love, and don't ...
