If you are constantly bothered by the way others treat you,
or if you find that things they do perturb you, the best way
to have a peaceful life is to stop caring.
This doesn't mean that you stop caring about the people themselves
and their highest good; it means that you stop caring and investing
your time in the things that they do.
If we focus too heavily on the things we don't get back from the people
we care about, all our attention will be on issue of lack. Give to
yourself by taking a break from caring about what people do. You keep
thinking that you can change someone Else's thought, feeling or behaviors.
Stay away from people who want to control you or need you to control them.
And it is time to re-think and re-care about the real things that bring you self-worth.
Each time a thought of someone Else's negative behavior starts to repeat
itself in your mind, stop it by saying to yourself: I choose not to care
about this; it has nothing to do with me or my overall life.
I think the one thing you can do is consistntly convey a positive glowing spirit. If you cannot change someone ... it is very possible to sway an opinion.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right, though. Combating opinions that are demeaning, are futile. The easier they slide off our life's windshield, the less water to see through!
Say, you have an impressive template - I like the tables on the header. Did you write the code???
