There is this element of peace when you know when to take your eyes off a situation. The strength that comes with it is likewise unexplainable; it is not something we can do out of the blue. Rather, it is a result of consistent mental training that yields this kind of strength.

Not every situation deserves our reaction and likewise, not all calls deserve our confrontation, in a world where we view someone looking away during a situation or a confrontation as an act of being weak while someone who is confrontational most times is viewed as bold.

It might seem weak to avoid confrontations and not speak up but it is also an act of maturity to restrain yourself sometimes.

Some have unknowingly associated themself with the name troublemaker because they've developed this strange habit of picking up needles niggles here and there, which eventually tarnish their image.

This makes a lot of people not pay attention to them cause they believe they have nothing to offer other than fights. Every day, people say things to us that hit our nerves, but then the way we react to what they say is what growth is all about.

The instinct to react in hot situations is always so strong that we end up biting more than we can chew. In a situation like this, there's a question that should always run through our minds. The question should be, "What would the outcome of my reaction be?"

If you ask yourself this question all the time then it will help you catch a break and think before you let all hell lose because you didn't think before reacting.

There's an important difference between avoiding conflicts out of fear and avoiding them out of wisdom; the latter is about protecting your peace 🕊️ not everything requires a response. Sometimes, you just have to overlook this thing for the same mental sanity.

So many situations that could have passed quietly escalated as a result of our decision not to look away from results that might damage us in the end.

Personal growth mostly comes from self-control; the moment you can control your emotions to a certain degree from that, moment, you will notice the certain growth and inner peace you will experience as a result of this.

Lack of self-control has been a reason why so many lives have been lost and so many homes broken because of this absence of self-control in moments when things escalate.

Looking away doesn't mean you are blind at all it only means that you have important things to channel that energy into other than wasting that energy raising your precious voice on something so trivial to waste so much energy on.

So next time you have that urge to react remember to pause a bit and think 🤔 about the damages that may result from that.
