Commercial Break...
Before i post my so called 'masterpiece' for my 3weeks of updates, will need to do a quick commercial break comment for a fellow Blogger... the reason why i didnt juz give my comments directly is because this explains fairly much about my personality. ;)
My Fellow 'Otter',
Itz a joy to be a 'Sanguine'... by experience... we bring the cheer & laughter to the dull and sleepy situations, revive the fainthearted & light the sad faces. Altho, we are not God where His Joy & Peace far outweighs what we could bring. Nevertheless, personalities like ours exist for a reason too... to contribute to His joy. ;) [Sanguine & Otter is one of the 4 kinds of Personality found in the book 'Why We Act The Way We Do?' by the author, Tim LaHaye...]
I guess the best method to be an Encouragement to anyone is - to befriend them before any tragedies happen... i know - we can't befriend anyone everyone out there but ppl like me who talks *non-stop should try to reach out to as many, whenever, wherever we can... Because when sad things happens, we can offer words of comfort from someone they know and not someone trying to be intelligent out of nowhere trying to say a comforting word... ;)
I haf the same predicament too... regrets & guilt floods the mind hoping to rewind things & do it differently, but we cant. Nevertheless i'll still try to share whatever i can when i feel confident to be of encouragement... Let me share with u a principle i hold dearly... "Which one is worst? 1. Being silent and not say a word to let the other person know how we feel, thus not allowing the other person a chance to be encouraged by our words... 2. Share our opinions and hope that it will be of help, although there's a chance we might have said something wrong..."
I would want to give the other person a chance to hear me out & filter what's good and what's not rather than missing a chance to say something 'meaningful' which could change their perception and their life... ;) Of course i am conscious for the need of Refining my Empathy in these sensitive situations. :D
Thatz all folks for my commercial break... hope it makes SENSE to anyone trying to understand me. ;)
