Stubbornly，we wait for someone else to reach out to us believing this is the

11、only way we can forgive or rekindle a friendship or family relationship. A friend of mine，recently told me that she hadnt spoken to her son in almost three years. She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldt speak to him again unless he called first. When I

12、 suggested that she be the one to reach out，she said，“ I cant do that.

13、s isusuallythecase，when someonetakesthechanceandreaches out，everyone wins. Whenever weholdontoour anger，weturn“ smallstuff”问题）”intoreally“ big stuff” inour minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want to be a more peaceful person you

14、must understand that being right is almost never more im-portant than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go，and reach out. Let other people be right. This doesnt mean that you re wrong. Everything will be fine. Youll experience the peace of letting go，as well as the joy of

15、letting others be right. You11 also notice that，as you reach out and let others be “right”，they will become less defensive and more loving toward you. They might even reach back. But，if for some reason they dont， thats okay too. You 11 have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your p

19、tion a little later r simple way to think about it is that our body s stress response works like a car alarm. keep ussafeby warningus of thepresenceofdanger inourimmediateenvironment. But instead of warning us with a loud and annoying sound，our body alarm system lets us know that something is wrong

20、by creating changes in our neurochemistry (神经化学）.If youve ever experienced painin your stomach，periodsofextremeanger，inabilitytofocus or eveninsomnia(失目民），chances are your body was paying the price in those moments for the brain chemistry of stress. So if its so uncomfortable，why not just get rid of

21、 stress altogether? This is not only impractical，it would be dangerous. Lets go back to the metaphor (比喻说法） of the car alarm.

22、ng through the jungle without any fear signal in the presence of a poisonous snake or other dangerous animals while it might feel “nice” to be so relaxed，your body actually needs the stress response not only to remind you of danger but also to offer extra adrenaline (肾上腺素) for your heart and extra b

23、loodand oxygen for your arms and legs. However，if the car alarm goes off at any time，someone just looks at the car with a bit of an atti- tude，and it becomes equally useless. Not only do we stop paying attention to it，but it begins to drive us and everyone around us becomes a little bit crazy. In th
