Mis-understood Anger

I have two amazing women who have influenced me in so many ways, yet, it seems those confident, aspiring women are so completely lost.

I have had the opportunity to talk with both and find the similarities in the conversations overwhelming. Both are currently employed, mothers, and grandmothers. Both completely unsure.

The surprising thing is what they become upset about. Things, I know, years ago would have been blimps on the radar. So, how do I handle the situation when their "anger" turns to me for some understanding.

Simple. I state the way it was probably meant and then go pray. Sometimes, as women, we have the tendency to see only the negative and not think about what someone else may actually mean. I too am guilty of this. We hear a small thing, witness an act, or simply read something the wrong way. Then we have this anger that is both, misunderstood and misguided.

The point behind this blog is to sometimes step back and think of it in terms of the one you are upset at. Try to see it from anothers point of view. Sometimes it is simply a misunderstanding.

I pray and hope these two women see the positive in their lives and how amazing they are to not only me, but others as well.
