Get to Know Yourself more and you will learn How to Deal with People
Are you having a hard time dealing with other people? Then the best thing that you can do is deal with yourself first, know the things you want and don’t want. Develop yourself, and you will learn how to deal with others. How you treat other people matters in how you deal with yourself. So try to check first the way you handle your own mistakes, failures, or even success. And only then will you slowly understand others. It will not happen instantly. Sometimes, knowing yourself takes a long and challenging process, but everything is worth it the moment you see yourself grow and prosper in God’s presence. Just learn to persevere and be patient. Do rush the things that are meant to be cherished.
Discover your strengths and weaknesses. Be vulnerable to God, and don’t be afraid to accept the truth that you also have your limitations. Know your weaknesses because that’s the best way for you to learn how to handle yourself. And when you know how to manage certain things, you will also learn to deal with other people. Your weaknesses represent the things that you need to avoid and prepare. While your strengths will show the things that you need to develop and nurture. Treasure them because, after that, you will learn to appreciate the weaknesses and strengths of others.
Evaluate your perspective in life. Try to ask yourself about the reason why you think such way. Recall those moments that lead you to conclude about certain things. The way you think also reflects your behavior towards other people. So let God purify your thoughts, and He will take away the negative mindset that hinders you from growing in His presence. Do not rely on your own understanding. Align your thoughts to the word of God so that you will be guided. Acknowledge His presence, and He will teach you what to do.
Seek your identity in the Lord. Do not anchor your worth according to what other people say. Know who you truly are in the eyes of God. And He will empower you to love yourself and other people. You can’t give what you don’t have. It will be hard for you to love others if you don’t know how to love yourself. So focus on growing in the Lord first, and He will slowly change you into a better person. And when you know who you are in His eyes, you will also treat others the way He treated you.
