Bully.
What should you do when you get bullied? Most of the time, I think bullying is nothing more than a power struggle between the haves and the have nots. People are intimidated by strong people even if that person isn’t really strong. There just has to be a perception of strength. Jealousy also plays a part.
They want what you have, and they know they’ll never have “it.” SO the way they handle the situation, is by bullying; taking control of another person by belittling that person into submission. And, when that person doesn’t immediately crumble under the pressure, the bully becomes more and more filled with explosive hatred.
What’s a person to do? Simply, remove yourself from the epic situation as sweetly and as quietly as possible. There are silver linings in all clouds. Idiots are everywhere. Get used to it. Iyanla Vanzant says, “When you see crazy walking down the street, cross the street!” At times you can cross that street, and sometimes you cannot. Do your best.
You can’t control anyone but yourself. Try to stay out of all the chaos. You are tuned in more clearly than you think you are. Do what feels right to you; stay connected to peace. These so-called idiots of the world will eventually get what’s coming to them.
Hey, you never know. You might even be around to see it. Which is glorious to experience, I can attest to it. I’m not exactly saying to rejoice in others’ misery. But . . . it is delightful to see the powerful fall of their own demise.
You know who you are. I’m not going to join others in beating myself up.
You are not going to put me in the hot seat because I’m not going to sit there!
Stay focused and don’t let others tell you who you are.
Take what you can from each experience and grow.
Bullies will always be bullies. Then tend to surround themselves with like-minded individuals. Always, expect the same from these people. Then, you’ll be prepared for the attack if it comes, and if the attack never comes, all the better. You know who you are. Don’t let toxic people get under your skin. Otherwise, that toxicity will stay and grow within you. You know better.
Simply, be the mirror that reflects all that hatred back to the bully. Don’t take on other people’s problems. You have enough of your own.
Always remember, you are a being of light. Don’t let the darkness creep in. Look around, and see where you are. You are worthy of more, much more. Know it. Say it. Mean it.
Each day is a new day, a new beginning. It may bring good; may bring not so good. That’s life.
The good and the bad go together hand in hand. No one can continue to bother me unless I allow it. Don’t take all the ugliness with you. Leave it where you found it with that beautiful person, who attempted to give it to you in the first place. That’s where it belongs. Don’t try to make sense of what happened.
Don’t waste your energy where it is not needed. What happened . . . happened. Let it go. Stay focused on where you’re going; knowing that challenges will come up, and you will live through them.
