Mindful Monday: History

I love this simple sentence. How a person reacts when they are wronged speaks volumes to that person’s character.

Before I launch into words about how I think you should act when wronged, I want to set some parameters of what I think wronged is.

When I read this, I was thinking about when my husband and I have a disagreement. Or, when a friend is having a tough day or week, and they are short with me.

Wronged is not being stuck in an abusive relationship or working in a toxic environment. Wronged are those day-to-day encounters where you walk away frustrated, hurt, or angry. If you love the person you had the misunderstanding with, and they are important to you, forgive. If they really hurt you, talk it out, and don’t forget all the good times you had before that moment. That’s what a solid relationship is built upon – communication and also forgiveness.
