My Bronx Guru has some advice he gave me that I think will be useful to a lot of people at this trying time we like to call the holidays.
You don’t choose your family, might not like them but a couple times a year you are forced to be around them.
You can’t make someone grow up, no matter what age they are (and I do mean the adults).
Some people just have to be the center of attention or no one is going to have a good time (and I do mean the adults).
And if said person acts up by pushing buttons it will be more effective if you do nothing. If you react to the button pushing, they will flip to the victim roll before you finish one sentence there in being the center of attention and you become bad cop. Because when it’s all said and done, no one will remember what started the altercation but they will remember your reaction.
Make sure you schedule some friend time in amongst this holiday chaos, so you can actually enjoy the time. Because if you had a friend that acted like this it would only be your fault for having them around. You could walk away.
Friendship should be about respect kindness support and understanding. If it is to much work it drains you. Don’t deal in negatives. Accentuate the positive people in your life.
Try to be the bigger person even if someone is to blind to see it it will make you sleep better than festering over negative energy.
Open and close your own doors in life and on January 1, 2007 open a new chapter in your life leaving any 2006 garbage sealed up in a time capsule. But take life’s lessons with you and never stop growing, and learning. Because at one time we were all 18 and knew everything we needed to know.
So in summation don’t be that person or encourage that person. Relationships are 2 way streets that need work, but shouldn’t be that much work. If someone family or not is pushing you away that hard let them push you away. Then they only have themselves to blame. Just know if they push you that far they won’t have an epiphany and realize the errors of their ways they will probably just say see I knew it all along. And blame you again for their misguided ways of thinking. But this is a New Year, a new chapter in your book. Only you can control forest fires don’t throw matches at a pile of dead leaves.
