Sometimes when we get caught up in feeling sorry for ourselves, we forget the best way to communicate with others. When we are hurting or feeling upset, interacting with others may become difficult. That's when most of us, seek solace in places that calm our soul. But when we're unable to find that quiet corner, we may strike out at others unintentionally. Know that by hurting others by what we say doesn't help our situation. We have all hurt others by our thoughtless words, but that doesn't mean we need to continue doing this. Know that we always have control over the words that we use, it is up to us to use them responsibly. Today, use your words wisely. Whether you are feeling well or not, always be aware of how you are communicating with others. You want to be true to yourself by listening to the words that come forth from within. It's not always easy to be compassionate to others, but if you lead the life you were meant to, compassion will become second nature to you.
Finding solace is a state of mind...
(I find that those who have difficulty expressing their feelings are the ones that strike out randomly at others. It's as if their unhappiness has to leak out in some way and that way is mistreating those that they care for the most. Although it's hurtful, by then it may be too late the damage has been done. That's why I've learned to end the conversation so that the other person can think about what they are doing. Walking away when someone is being hurtful has been one of most difficult lessons that I've had to learn. Being compassionate doesn't mean not taking care of oneself.)
