Living Wisdom: Choose Sanity Over Peacekeeping
Concept
Trying to avoid conflict by staying silent or constantly appeasing others often leads to resentment and burnout. Sanity means living in emotional truth, even if it disrupts superficial peace.
Core Belief:
It’s better to be briefly uncomfortable than to live indefinitely in dysfunction.
Examples
-
A friend always dominates conversations.
Response: “I don’t feel heard when I’m interrupted constantly. That’s not okay with me.”
-
Your partner refuses to talk about issues and you’ve avoided it for years.
Response: “I won’t keep pretending everything’s fine. We need to talk.”
-
A family member constantly disrespects your choices.
Response: “I’m not asking for your approval. I’m asking for respect.”
-
You always host events, but it’s draining.
Response: “I enjoy hosting — but it’s time to take turns.”
-
In a team setting, no one confronts the toxic leader.
Response: “I know this might be uncomfortable, but the way we’re being treated isn’t okay.”
Closing Reminder:
Crazy Makers lose power when you step into truth, boundaries, and emotional clarity. You don’t need to fix them — you need to stay sane. Living Wisdom means living free of emotional lies and entanglements.
