Daily we’re faced with doubts, fears and all manner of negativity. It comes from all types of sources.
Don’t let other people define you. It’s not their life; it’s not their story. Live your own life, and write your own story. Define yourself. -Uknown
When faced with these challenges it’s hard to not allow it get to us. I go through this too. I was bullied for a very long time.
Bullies have issues too. The reason they are bullies is because they don’t know how to handle their issues. The way they handle their {monsters within} is to attack other people to try to control them.
When others see in you what they fear they fight back to try to block it out.

Don’t give anyone permission to control you. Show them the door and send them on their way.
Some tips to help:
- Have a good support system around you.
- Look in the mirror each day and tell yourself, “This is going to be a good day!” and make it so.
- Do something positive for yourself and anyone who happens to cross your path in the process.
- As the quote goes: “Be the change you want to see in the world”. Be an example.
Please share your experience. Let others know they can get through it, because it has been done. Letting others know they’re not alone in all this is an encouragement and a hope to keep going.
