Christmas is for many overwhelming and stressful, presents
and food to be bought, family gatherings to be arranged. It is therefore a time
when relationships are foremost on their minds. But for some, it is a time of
deception, when the printed words of peace and love are in direct opposition to
what they really feel inside.
A this time of year, any relationships
that are under strain may totally split asunder. As families gather together old animosities
and rivalries can bubble to the surface. The mature approach is to just let
them go but it is not easy. It takes two people to have a disagreement. If one
of them (you) decides that life is too short and makes a personal commitment to
let the real happiness and peace that is Christmas become a reality, then there
is no argument. There is no point in winning a series of battles if you can
simply end the war.
If you use your energy to perpetuate a
feeling of grudge, envy or hurt, then you are using energy that could, and
should be directed to more positive things – like building yourself the life
that you truly desire.
If you can learn the
actions that create harmony and peace, then the joy of Christmas really will,
as the cards say, stay with you throughout the rest of the year. If you want to change
somebody else the only place you can begin is with changing yourself. And, the
only time you can start is right now.
