What is being the bigger person?
Many of us have heard about the notion ‘be the bigger person,’ but what does this really mean? Well it definitely doesn’t mean eating more. Put simply, being the bigger person means to live and interact in the world in a way which better allows us to get along with each other. The result being more peaceful, rewarding and meaningful relationships in our life.
Why is it important to be the bigger person?
If you are not being the bigger person, then chances are that you are experiencing conflict within your relationships to some degree. How many families and friends do you know whom are free of conflict of some sort? Be it the royals, celebrities, or anyone else, most are riddled with drama. Whether it’s a sibling not talking to a parent, this friend not talking to that friend, that partner not talking to their ex, or anything else. And it’s a similar story within workplaces too. The fact that there are so many lonely people within families is a real tragedy.
Apart from the damage this does to relationships, the stress of these interactions can literally suck the energy out of you and rob you of joy in each and every moment. And this is true regardless of the fact that it may have been in the past, if you try not to think about it, or even if you no longer see the person anymore/have removed yourself from the situation. In this way, it is important that you strive to be the bigger person, because doing so allows you to live more in the now and enjoy life, which equates to a happier, healthier, fitter you. It’s simple – the more we get along the less stressed we are.

Love your work Rob. This is my NOW resolution not my New Years Resolution. Thanks for all your advice. You blogs are easy listening. They are make so much sense and I feel I can re-align myself after listening to them. Keep up the good work.

Hi Liz, that’s sounds like a great resolution for 2018, and one which will bring you much more peace too!
So true Rob. The trouble with people is that they think the world revolves around them!
Your dead right there Anna! Whilst it’s important to first look after ourselves, we need to also ensure to be considerate of others too.
