"The liar's punishment is not in
the least that he is not believed but that he cannot believe
anyone else.” ~ George Bernard Shaw.
Remind yourself of this quotation whenever you are tempted
to expend valuable energy refuting a person's false accusations
or insinuations.
If you find yourself on the receiving end of unsubstantiated
false accusations from someone who barely knows you, be aware
it says nothing of your character, but speaks volumes about
theirs.
Notice I said ‘unsubstantiated’… If you always operate with
integrity, honesty, and compassion towards others, false accusations
or insinuations will bounce off that force field of positivity
surrounding you that I had you visualise and fully associate
with during ULTIMATE CONFIDENCE -> http://www.schoolyourmind.com/getconfident.html
Also featured on that audio: while acting with ethics and compassion
in all areas of your life, learn then to interpret people's
negativity, hostility and un-constructive criticism as a cry
for help, rather than a reflection of your character or ability.
Not everything is about you. People view things through the
filter of their own inner happiness and self-esteem.
By the way, my inspiration to share this with you comes from
observation of a variety of comments on people’s Facebook newsfeeds.
Very often we have large numbers of ‘friends’ in our network
whom we have never met, nor even spoken to on the phone. I occasionally
see people jumping to conclusions on some seemingly well-intentioned
posts, yet they may know little or nothing of the person they’re
denigrating.
It’s valid for any area of life though – not just Facebook.
If you spend time and energy defending every unjust comment
made by family or co-workers, you’ll have less left for what
really matters. And to be frank, if someone makes inaccurate
comments about you without any facts to back them up, they will
keep saying it or thinking it, no matter what you say, until
they choose otherwise.
Just 'be', rather than say, tell, or try to convince.
Remember, we can only control ourselves, not others.
