So what do we have in the bag today for another Monday Inspiration segment. I want to charge us today with the principle of applying the correction fluid.
What is a correction fluid?
A correction fluid or white-out, is an opaque, usually white fluid applied to paper to mask errors in text. Once dried, it can be written over. It is typically packaged in small bottles, and the lid has an attached brush (or a triangular piece of foam) which dips into the bottle. The brush is used to apply the fluid onto the paper.
A correction fluid is used to mask errors, it is used as a substance to place over an error, so something else can be written on it.
My question to you today is do you posses the characteristic of a correction fluid on your inside?. Not necessarily the bottle of the correction fluid but how many of us can act like the correction fluid?. How many of us can play the role of a correction fluid?. Whereby when one offends us we bring out the brush on our inside and mask off the error so it can be written over. Remember if an error is made on a paper there are two options you either
If you strike it off, you create a distance between the sentences, but if you use the correction fluid, you retain the space and you get the ability to right
The same thing happens in our lives, if we decide to keep a grudge or choose not to forgive we only create a gap between ourselves and the person involved but if we choose to bring out the correction fluid on our inside and mask the error then we give room for the person to re-write their wrong for good.
Do you have the characteristics of a correction fluid or do you find it difficult to mask off an error committed by an individual?
My Advice:
Try and make the characteristic of the correction fluid a part of your life, whereby you do not get to keep errors for too long but mask them so the person can right their wrong for good. Learn to forgive, learn to look pass people's wrong.
It definitely is not easy but it is possible.
Humans, Me inclusive could be very annoying but how long do we want to store anger on our inside, why not just save two things, save the friendship/relationship and save the image you have of that person in your head.
Most times when someone hurts us we start to think otherwise of them but today I urge you to think of the correction fluid characteristic and apply it when you are at a point of anger or unforgiveness, so as to keep our friendship and relationships.
Forgive quickly. The quicker you do it, the easier it is. ~ Joyce Meyer
Are you ready to let out the correction fluid characteristics in you?
If yes... start by masking out the error of the person who offended you who you still have not forgiven.
