This week I want to talk to you about being an overcomer. I believe all of us are overcomers & can continue to be overcomers simply by not giving up.
Being an overcomer is simply someone that succeeds in dealing with problems and/or difficulties in their lives & making the decision to not give up, even when situations get really tough.
Here are some notes from today's episode:
- Do you struggle with holding grudges? Do you hold any offenses against anyone that has hurt you or contributed to you feeling negative?
- I believe this is one of those things that people don’t even realize they are struggling with because you can start to feel entitled to these feelings because this person hurt you or crossed a line.
- But unfortunately this is not a reason or excuse to treat the other person this way.
- And as annoying as it may sound, we need to be reflecting kindness back to others, despite what they have done to us. I know this can be the hardest thing in the world sometimes, but it’s the better thing to do.
- It’s amazing the lengths we will go through to hold a grudge when it takes a lot of effort to continually be upset & really only causes us more pain in the end. But it’s the identity we create when we are holding onto these things that will cause us to not want to let go. You have anger & a feeling of being wronged that is serving you in a way that gives you strength, even if it’s negative.
- One of the biggest reasons people hold grudges is because it gives them power over the situation. It’s empowering to hold something over someone else because you feel like the person that is in control of the entire situation.
- And the grudge you’re holding isn’t going to give you the result that you hoped, which is generally comfort & empathy for what you feel happened to you. It’s actually a wall you are putting up & like a trophy you are displaying to world that you were hurt & everyone should feel bad for you. This can lead into victim mentality, which is not where you want to live.
- Holding grudges isn’t going to get you what you want, not even the satisfaction of hurting the other person back, because usually it either won’t affect them due to them just not caring or avoiding you to not have to deal with it.
- So let’s chat about what we can do to overcome grudges:
- 1. Share Your Feelings
- 2. See the Situation from Their POV
- 3. Move On Without an Apology
- 4. Stop Dwelling & Let It Go
