Dealing With Wicked Annoying People

We all have someone in our life who annoys us to death. If you don't, then you are most likely the annoying person. And you need to fix that. People like to bug us. It is just what they do. The way to handle bad behavior is not to ignore the person or to curse them off.

Here is a good example. There is a 10-year-old boy I know who does not get along with a fellow cabin mate. So, he calls him a redneck, screams some other rude things at the kid and the kid runs away crying. NOT the best idea. This is just like how teenagers pick unnecessary fights with one another. When one teen ticks off another teen, back off and gather 'round to watch a duel in the school hallways.

Ignoring a person isn't right either, because when you ignore them, you are destined to become a target for this other annoying person. Without giving attitude or silence back, surprise the person and be extremely nice to them. This will get them annoyed in a GOOD way so that they will never bother you ever again.

Haven't You Ever Heard the Term "Having Fun"?

Ok so how many of you like having fun?

I see that all of you have raised your hands. But are you really telling the truth?

Fun:

-enjoyment amusement, or lighthearted pleasure

-playful behavior or good humor

-behavior or an activity that is intended purely for amusement and should not be interpreted as serious or malicious purposes

(Mac dictionary)

Having fun is something we all do to please ourselves. We do these "fun" things to get to know each other more or know ourselves more and to lift our spirits up. I know none of you can deny that. But do really do it? Do you really have fun. I know this one guy that wherever you go he always has his laptop out in front of him and never takes his eyes off it. You need to think outside the box. You need to step out of your bubble and do something wild. Having fun is not going out with your friends and or family out to eat taking telephone calls al night and sleeping during your meal. What fun is that? Do not look for the bad in jokes. Even if you think they are not funny, laugh anyways. Maybe even try even telling a joke or two.

So here's what you do. Go out to dinner. Go eat with your friends and family at your favorite restaraunt. Leave your laptop. Leave your phones pda's and anything that might distract you. Tell them about yourself and your new ways of you being fun loving. Tell them your best jokes. Then treat them to a concert in the park. Bring a picnic blanket and a snack. If you don't have a concert in your park, go out to a field and just look up at the stars. Think kid. Think child. Because if you are too rough to do this, then you will need to become a child again to find the enjoments of having fun.

Give Yourself A Break

People in this day and age are always so busy. We have to go to work, accept and make phone calls, take the kids to soccer practice, go to the school PTA meeting, pick the kids up, write an article for the paper and go to bed with a full plate at 1:00am, only to get up again at 5:00am.

Typical Americans have gotten so busy, and never find time alone to spend with themselves, or their friends and family. Each of us has a schedule that we must follow everyday. It has changed into routine. This is a very bad habit. It starts getting into your brain and will soon become your daily life. And trust me you will hate it. You will start getting up at 5:00am every day, going to bed at night at 11:00pm and you will always have to keep yourself busy. This is physically bad for you because you are wearing your body out. Why do you think teenagers sleep in so late? It's because they will be up watching movies all night and their body needs to rest and catch up with itself.

Try making a daily schedule instead of a life long schedule by asking yourself what do you need to do TODAY. Not something that is due in one month. And don't try the excuse that you have extra time so you might as well get it done. NO WAY! Your body needs to take rests, and give yourself a break. Spend some time with your friends and family. And maybe get to know God a little more. You know that the more that you pray, the less stress you have.

Give Yourself A Break!

Love Your Enemy

Is this a tough lesson or what? "Love Your Enemy". This is an unfortunate law that is written in the Bible. Therefore, we must. Do you have an enemy? I want you to think of that person right now. Is he/she a bully to you? Does he/she hate you? Why? In all circumstances, there are two sides to every story. Whether we like it or not. There is a reason for this person being an enemy to you.

This person can do whatever they want to you. They could punch you... they could say mean things to you... they can give you that rotten look that says "who are you for talking to me?"... they could have stolen something of yours whether it be an item, happiness, or your cat Pluto. But we still have to love them. No matter how rotten they are to us, we still have to love them.

One thing you can do is confront the person and explain to them how you feel. They may not even know that they are hurting you! Talk to them, and try to get rid of the situation all together. If you are not brave enough to confront the person, write them a letter, or a little note telling them how you feel. Something that you do want to avoid though is cyber conversation. This is a bad idea, because other people may be able to see it, the other person might use it against you, and your feelings can sometimes go out of control on the internet.

Your enemy does not have to accept this offer, and you need to know that. Your enemy might not even be interested in friendship. Well that stinks for them. Even if they say no, you do not stop loving them. You always be kind to them, and do not let your anger become the better of you. Try to see good in them, and imagine walking in their shoes. All of this love is for the better.

Love Your Enemy!

Limbo

What are you supposed to do when you are stuck doing limbo waiting for an answer? I have actually myself been in this predicament before, and trust me, it is not an easy place to be. An important thing to remember is that you won't be stuck for the rest of your life, and sooner or later you will find a way out of it. Just make sure that you think that you are doing the right thing in everything that you do.

First, and foremost, PRAY ABOUT IT! God has the answer to everything. Tell him your thoughts and feelings, and I can assure you 100% that he is listening

Secondly, TALK TO PEOPLE YOU CARE ABOUT. Friends will always help you in time of need. Besides, maybe your future affects them too.

Thirdly, while you are waiting, DO A PROJECT. I know you have already volunteered to help out everywhere, and have cleaned the whole house, but I am talking about a real project. Maybe start a knitting club, or write a book. Another good idea, is go through your old photos and create a scrapbook or collage.

These are three steps to help you while you are waiting for life to take a turn. It is different for everyone, but all people go through some kind of dilemma in their life.
