PRO TIP // If you experience strong emotions over a situation with someone, do the following:

1. Draft an elaborate letter to them, holding nothing back (DON’T SEND IT).
2. Don’t look at it for several days.
3. Read it & measure you against Jesus (still no sending yet).

(1/4)

This is a POWERFUL way to realize your biggest growth areas + get better! It shows you what you need to work on emotionally, clarifies the truth of the situation to you, & allows you to express your feelings without hurting anyone.

(2/4)

If the situation isn’t resolved by now, then adjust your letter to truth & Christlikeness & deliver it to them. Your words/feelings do deserve to be heard, AFTER they’ve been processed & cleansed of extra-emotions.

(3/4)

You’ll get better personally, eliminate so much unnecessary hurt + extra conversation, & you’ll give the situation its best chance of proper resolve. It can be a great opportunity for everyone to get better.

Process > panic.
Respond > react.
Resolve > everything fam.
