How many times in a day do you get your feelings hurt? Don’t take things personally.
Every day we are poked at, made fun of, and some things spoken that are not pleasurable. However, they’re not meaning to hurt you directly.

It’s just someone trying to make the day a little brighter. Or even draw attention to themselves.
The pokes and jabs are more about the other person.
However, we tend to blow it all out of proportion.
- You’ve had a bad day.
- It’s that time of the month.
- The children have been more than a challenge.
- The baby won’t nap.
- You’re just cranky and crabby.
Nothing is going your way. And then to have a comment or reaction from your spouse about
- How you look.
- Why isn’t dinner ready?
- The house is a mess.
You’ve been there a few times.
Your patience becomes tested. And the only thing you have left in you is to lash out.
It’s like Jurassic Park in your home! ROAR!!!
Now take a deep breath. I want to pause for a moment, because it’s natural to get defensive.
Today’s episode is brought to you by…

Well here’s another story from the move. I’ve been trying to get my sunroom set up. But I didn’t already have something to go in there except outdoor stuff, and I didn’t want that look.
So I began the search for what I wanted. And I already had a picture in my mind what I wanted.
I then I found it! But before I went back after taking measurements and double checking, it sold.
I continued the search for this couch for about 3 weeks. Way too long when you knew that was exactly what you wanted, and now you don’t have it.
BUMMER!!! It takes the wind out of your sails. It shuts you down.
So I went out with G-man, our youngest. Poor little dude! I drag him everywhere. I decided to drop by a store that I had visited when they first opened here and found nothing. But why not give it a try again.
Then I came across the set. My hope changed. Maybe I could get what I wanted for the room.
Two days have passed. And we are ready to go check it out. In preparation, we take two cars.
And I get the two thumbs up!
Now that I have the main sitting unit, I want to begin to accessorize.
So during this process, Ashley is texting Dad about these pictures I found and which ones he likes.
As they’re chatting, he reveals to her that he also doesn’t like the pictures in the hallway to our bedroom.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Now he tells me this.
Don’t take things personally.
“It’s not about what’s stopping you, it’s what’s impacting you.” ~ Kristianne Wargo
We’ve got to understand that there’s more to life than stop signs, those pokes and jabs.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Dare to live fully!
- LAUGH MORE. Don’t wrap yourself up in the tiniest comments. You are just giving your heart away. Instead, enjoy the pokes in life with a little more carefree attitude.
- SPEAK UP. If you don’t like what is being said about you, then tell that person. Tell your spouse. Do so in a manner that will respect the other person and reflect you being serious.
- CELEBRATE DIFFERENCES. Differences are what makes the world go round. That’s why you fell in love with your spouse.
“When you dare to live fully, you embrace the gift of life.” ~ Kristianne Wargo
That’s what you are leaving on the table when you take things personally.
Don’t take things personally.
BONUS: Remember that it’s more of a reflection of the other person, not you. PERSPECTIVE!
“Dare to live fully and go embrace your gift of life!”
