Life sure ain’t fair!

How we handle ourselves in the face of life’s unfair realities is of significance.

We have many choices in how we respond. Without some space to work through our emotions before we respond we may react in ways that creates an injustice to someone else.

Even though we’ve been “pooped on” or someone we care about has it’s really not ok to “poop on” someone else in return!

I generally need some quiet space to unload my emotions and initial reactions before I can determine the best course of action to take.

Often the best course is simply learning to accept that which seems unacceptable…a pretty tall order to do sometimes too!

Through the difficult times in my life some good stuff has come out of it which includes having learned new coping tools, growth in ways that has stretched me for the better and experiences that have taught me to appreciate all that life has brought to me—the good times and the hard times too.

When faced with an injustice what helps you negotiate through it?
