Talking Behind My Back

When something is not right with a friend or colleague, one of the easiest path to take is to take the side that talks about such colleague mostly behind their backs with no exact solution to the problem. Sometimes, it feels easier to just talk about it because we also do not have a solution to the problem, we are good simply at diagnosis with no real cure or solution to the problem.

I have at times fallen into this situation, one of such times I am not proud of. But sometimes, it is important to understand that our behaviors are bad, only then can we begin to make progress towards fixing them. Talking behind someone’s back mostly does not solve the problem, it simply creates another problem. A problem you might also not be able to solve.

For me, I have learnt my lessons and I pray to God to give me the strength to be able to walk up to friends and colleagues whenever I have something to say to them. That would be the best option, talking without taking actions never solved any problem.

Sometimes, you do not understand the extent of what you are doing until you overhear another person talking about you, then anger rushes through you, but you also have to remember that you have also done the same thing to another person and now you know how it feels.

To everyone I have said something unpleasant about them behind their backs, I seek your forgiveness. No man is without blame or fault and one of the best things is to realize our faults and fix them. No more no less.

Since everyday is a chance to becoming better and you are reading this today, I believe you have we all have another opportunity to make something better out of ourselves, something our future self would be proud of.

So when you feel like talking about your friend or colleague behind their backs, remember how you would feel if another person did the same to you. It is not pleasant coming from a person who has felt it. It does not pay. Let it go.

The easiest things to do are sometimes not the best things. It is easy to simply complain, put all the blame on another person and take none of it. But when you look closely, you are as guilty as everyone else. No need to play the blame game.

Remember, today is another opportunity to make it right. You are not perfect, but once you discover a fault, fix it so that you become a better version of yourself.

Thanks and God Bless.
