Comments for Personal Growth with Corinne Edwards http://www.personal-growth-with-corinne-edwards.com The house, portfolio, Mercedes and the 2.5 kids have been attained – and the question being asked now is, "IS THAT ALL THERE IS?"

(for a while) by Raymond Chua http://www.personal-growth-with-corinne-edwards.com/just-shut-up-for-a-while/#comment-2886 Raymond Chua Mon, 12 May 2008 02:14:47 +0000 http://www.personal-growth-with-corinne-edwards.com/?p=203#comment-2886 Well, Corrine, first, I'll think if the matter would really affect my life in a negative way. If not, I would not bother it at all and keep telling myself that I'm in control of my life and not controlled by others. For example, if a person upset with me because I say NO to them and tell everybody about how bad I am, then I would not bother about it at all. If I spend my precious time to argue, explain and upset about that, then I would associate this as my life is being controlled by others where people can make me feel what I don't want to feel and make me do what I don't want to do. I hate to be controlled and that motivates me to SHUT UP! I would just go and move on with my life pretending that nothing happens. :) Well, Corrine, first, I’ll think if the matter would really affect my life in a negative way.

We should shut up towards others, but not sometimes we have to confront the person that wrong us. Not with emotional outbursts, or hoping others to change, but more of letting others know, and grow others. Isn't that better? Btw, happy Mother's Day! Robert Great attitude Corinne!

You are an advanced soul. Tell us more how you do it. Most of us are behind in letting things go and SHUTTING UP! Good for you, Raymond!

I really wrote that article about myself and I read it over and over so I remember not to react! Serious learning here. Not just for my readers! Dear Mark -

How many times has a friend confided herrrendous tales of abuse from a husband? Then they make up and are lovey dovey and we can't even look at the man with a straight face for a long time! An outstanding example of shutting up! Dear Michelle -

We feel we have to take action on any mental assault immediately. Funny how a few days, if we can do it, can change or delay action. Thanks for your very thoughtful comment! Dear JoLynn -

Don't go tell all your friends/family/co-workers all your dirty laundry. It's not anyone else's business. Great advice in a marriage as well..

Don’t talk about it at all. Give your self some time to calm down. Nothing has to be done today. Really!"....nothing does need to be done today! Sometimes it's so easy to get all worked up when if instead you could sit back or do something else like you said, then after a day or so the situation will start to mellow and you can look at it with a clear head. I've done both before and I can say that I have much more inner peace by going with the second option - just doing nothing about it. ;) Hi Corinne,
