Many of us have someone in our regular everyday lives that repeatedly presses our buttons. For some of us, this person annoys or triggers irritation in us just about every time we see them.
What do we do about this?
We forgive them every time this happens. Yes, every single time. Even if that means that we are forgiving the same person over and over each day.
It is very important to keep our forgiveness current, because when we go about our day with an un-forgiveness, we have switched ourselves out of a state of love and into a state of fear-based thinking. Our day will then be filled with further problems and upsets until we get ourselves back into a state of alignment through our forgiveness.
It's also a good idea to review each day before going to bed at night and forgive this person once again before sleep. This will help to keep our dreams free of further disturbance and entanglement with them.
Some people are just difficult for us. I've mentioned before that we come into this life with forgiveness challenges. Life is a classroom and we have particular lessons to learn. Some of us are given certain people that we need to learn to forgive. It's part of our growth and purification process. That means that we might find ourselves married to a spouse that irritates us frequently, or we might have a boss or an employee that is a constant challenge for us. Perhaps one of our children is difficult for us to deal with.
Rather than letting this situation unduly frustrate or upset us, it's important to view it as what it is, a forgiveness opportunity. This person is in our lives giving us the chance to grow and learn.
It's also important to take a good long deep hard look at why we feel annoyed with this person. Chances are this person is mirroring back to us something we don't like about ourselves. Look at what it is that makes this person difficult for you. Are they too critical, short-tempered, easily frustrated, quick to lose control? Whatever it is, you will probably find a little of that same characteristic in your own make-up. As part of your forgiveness work, you'll need to go deeper in developing a more realistic understanding of this aspect of yourself and releasing and forgiving it in your own psyche as you work to forgive it in theirs.
Now, here's the good news. Over time as you forgive this person again and again, you will find yourself becoming less frequently annoyed by them. Part of this is because as your forgiveness washes over them, they will actually begin to lesson up on the annoying behavior. Additionally, as you work on releasing this aspect of your own mind, you will feel less and less activated by their behavior. This might be a slow process and take weeks, months and even years to resolve completely. However, keep at it and you'll find that your life steadily improves as you do this work.
Remember, we're all here to see the truth about the world. And that truth is that we are all really only LOVE, that we are One and that each and every one of us is the same. We are going to have to figure out how to live this belief one way or another. Be in a state of gratitude that this irritating person is in your life, showing you the way to Truth. You have an easy everyday assignment that will get you there. Just forgive this one person that annoys you over and over, every day. Bless them and show them love through your forgiveness and bring on a happier state of mind for both of you.
