Whether we realize it or not, people who push our buttons or aggravate us are actually doing us a favor, if we’re willing to hear the message. They are (unintentionally) showing us parts of ourselves that we can’t or don’t want to see. If we didn’t need to examine these aspects of our own personalities, we wouldn’t have an emotional charge. Approaching others’ judgments from this perspective not only stops our projections, it helps us grow beyond our blind spots and move…

Into greater well-being.
