There will be times when you will be invited to jump into the fray and participate in the drama going on around you. It can be very tempting to respond with a knee jerk reaction toward anger or disgust being thrown at you.
Again, this is where your free will and choice come into play. Do you participate or do you sit it out? In those tense moments, breathe, take a step back and ask yourself if it is something in which you truly wish to engage.
Would you be responding with judgement? Would you be forcing your views on another? Would your participation help clear the air or make it murkier? Take some time and listen to your heart… the truest and most equitable solution will always be there.
