“Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.” Mark Twain
Remain calm when others do not speak the words you would like to hear.
Accept that the others are the way they are.
You can’t change other people.
You are not responsible for the behaviour of others.
You can’t send the whole world to the shrink in the hopes that you will become happy in the end.
The only thing you are responsible for,
the only thing you can control is:
how you behave, how you treat other people.
Therefor: “Be impeccable with your word”
If nobody benefits from your words, just shut up.
Gossip = pure poison!!
Speaking ill of other people never got anybody anywhere.
Quite the opposite!
It will come back and bite you in the ass!
I know it’s hard not to follow people in their behaviour of telling stories, wallowing in the misfortune of others and –very briefly- feeling good about ourselves…
But don’t!!
It’s just an illusion!
It’s only negative energy you’re feeling, creating.
Instead: be good, act good, speak good!
This is positive karma!
It’s contagious too!!
When people only hear you speak well of others, they will start speaking good about people too!
Once you experience that warm feeling, the positive energy acting good creates, it will become a habit, it will become your new way of being.
Be the inspiration for others!
Start with – as Michael Jackson put it – the man in the mirror!!
If we want the world to be a better place, the only way to do that is to become a better person ourselves!
“Be the change you want to see in the world!” Mahatma Ghandi
Stop making excuses, stop pointing the finger at others, it’s just up to you and nobody else!
You are the one who chooses your words, you are the one who decides on how you react.
“Don’t let the world change your smile, let YOUR smile change the world!!!”
