It raises the interesting question as to what has prompted this statement in the first place. If you ever find yourself so miffed at what someone said, particularly when their intentions are well meant and more in a congratulatory tone, then catch yourself before you direct your ire at them. Consider what it is that is really pissing you off. Chances are, there is something deeper that was triggered, and it has more to do with how you may be feeling about yourself. What is it? How can you embrace it, forgive it, and make it whole again as a part of you?
