You know how people say, …”don’t let someone talk to you that way” or “don’t let anyone tell you what to do”? Well, I am here to tell you….who cares? Just because someone feels that they can talk to you poorly doesn’t mean you need to get into a pissing contest with them. Thank them for their opinion and walk away…let it go. All they are doing is projecting their past trauma onto you. They are looking to get a rise out of you. When they accomplish this, they won. Don’t let them win.

In a new relationship? Don’t talk about it. Keep it a close to your heart.

Bought a new car or some other nice material item? Don’t talk about it. Enjoy it without letting anyone know about it.

Someone broke your heart? Don’t talk about it. Grieve however long you need to, whichever way you need to and keep quiet about it.

Went on vacation and enjoyed yourself? Good for you! Now…don’t tell anyone about it. Keep it to yourself. Enjoy all your memories of it and bask in the happiness that you feel. Do you really need someone sarcastically saying to you: Vacation? My, aren’t you special? No…you don’t. You know why? It’s not your fault the choices they made in life never allowed them a vacation. It is on them. Not you.

Made a mistake and feel bad about it? Don’t talk about it. Figure out on your own if you need to apologize to this person or not. YOU deal with it…don’t take a survey on what others would do.

We have been conditioned to give our power away to others…to let others tell us how to do something….like they are an expert on the situation because they are book smart…but no matter what happens to you in life…NO ONE can say: I know how you feel because…they CAN’T….we are unique individuals and we all feel things differently than others. How we each deal with a situation is based upon our life experiences and I can assure you….we all experience life differently. We all react to life differently. For some, a tragedy scars them for life…others are able to look at it differently and move on and past the experience.

I hope you walk away smiling after reading this because you have happiness inside you and you are going to keep it close to your heart…

Peace out homies…
