About two weeks ago, someone showed up at my house with a wrong spirit. I was inside, minding my own business and enjoying some music when I heard a repetitve thunderous banging. Curious, I looked through my window from upstairs to see a person I was acquainted with. Initially, I greeted the person warmly, calling their name, but as soon as they responded, their energy shifted. Their words and tone carried an intensity that I quickly recognized and discerned as toxic. Right then, I made a conscious decision not to engage and reject that invitation to talk.
That choiceโto not engage in dialogueโcompletely infuriated them. They became livid, spewing obscenities, becoming aggressive and vulgar. I could have met their energy and retaliated, but I chose not to lower myself to their level. Instead, I stayed where I was, choosing calm over chaos.
This experience reminded me that avoiding a fight doesnโt make you weakโit makes you wise. It takes strength to stay above negativity, to resist the urge to argue, and to prioritize your peace over your pride.
As we approach the close of January, this is a powerful time to resolve that, in 2025, you wonโt allow conflicts, quarrels, or provocations to pull you out of alignment. Whether itโs a heated discussion at work, tension in your personal life, or a random act of disrespect, commit to walking away when necessary. You donโt have to respond to every summons of negativity or evil; or let someone elseโs chaos dictate your actions.
Avoiding conflict is a mark of honor. Itโs not about running away; itโs about choosing to protect your spirit and focus on what truly matters. The truth is, when you refuse to engage in unnecessary fights, you free yourself from stress, bitterness, and regret. You create space for growth, joy, and all the positive things youโre meant to experience this year.
So, as the year progresses, let wisdom guide your steps. Walk away when you need to. Say no to unnecessary drama. And remember: staying out of a fight is one of the most honorable choices you can make.
Stay blessed. โจ
Yuh know I have followed all the hubbub surrounding that video. I also read the accompanying comments. One thing that I noticed was how the majority of people saw this as an event of amusement . No one chose to recognise the calm calculated way in which you dealt with the verbal assailant . This shows that we are living in a society where wrong is celebrated as positive and right as dull and boring.
I admired how you stopped the train of danger in its tracks. One thing I also noticed is that this assailant came with something in their hands . Only God knows what it was.
You are absolutely right. Itโs unfortunate that many people are quick to find amusement in chaos rather than recognizing the strength in self-control. We live in a time where loud and reckless behavior is glorified. Thank you for seeing beyond the surface and acknowledging the intentional decision to de-escalate rather than fuel the situation. Itโs a lesson in being led by wisdom, not emotionโbecause as you pointed out, only God knows what could have happened if the situation had been handled differently. Let’s just say, I am thanful for my growth.
I appreciate your insight and the time you took to share this perspective. ๐๐ฝ Stay blessed!
