Listen, My Friend, to You!
Sometimes I find myself getting angry with those I care about when they don’t listen to me the way I want them to. How often do we turn away when someone is speaking with us, or interrupt, sending the message that what we have to say is more important? I know I do.
Usually our irritations at the outer world are signals from our truest selves. What we believe we need from others is really what our souls need from us. The greatest way to change our world is to give our inner selves some undivided attention.
Listening to ourselves and our deepest yearnings, even if what our souls are saying makes us feel uncomfortable, or is a request for something we’re not sure we can give—that, I believe, is what true self-care is all about.
Sometime today, sit in silence. Come without expectations, without a goal. Simply sit. Listen. And see what your soul is saying to you.

Hey!
That's really interesting what you write here. I like that it does right from your heart.
About the post. I think we also get angry at others for some traits of character that we have ouorselves! Many times, when I found myself getting irritated at another person's actions, I would also look back at myself and understand that I did something similar in the past. The traits of character that gets us crazy in others are in fact our own traits of character.
And I also agree that what we need from others is what we lack in ourselves.
