Dealing with…
Coping with…
Putting up with…
Bear With…
Tolerating…
Enduring…
Expressions that I’ve used and I’m sure, many of you have as well. We tend to use these words as if they are positive or that we are doing something noble by ‘dealing with’ or ‘tolerating’ the person or circumstances before us. But that’s a lot of work and so much trouble to cope and it really doesn’t feel good in the end. At least that has been the case for me and everyone else that I have compared notes with. Truth is we aren’t feeling good with these words and they don’t help us grow.
A change of perspective
Instead of dealing with, let us use acceptance
Try allowing instead of enduring
And compassion instead of dealing with
All will happen as it should. How we choose to experience it is in our hands.
