Is it the full moon? Does it bring out people’s meanness? LOL. I don’t know about you, but over the past few days, I’ve had some mean people try to get me down. Of course this happens to all of us every now and then, but the last few days? Whew! Too many! I think it must be the full moon. Has to be. LOL.
When someone is mean, don’t listen. When someone is rude, walk away. When someone tries to put you down, stay firm. Don’t let someone’s bad behavior destroy your inner peace. ~Unknown.
This morning, I had to take a step back and just breathe. And then I prayed. Praying always helps me focus and helps me get back to what I need to be doing.
Whatever method you use to “shake it off”, do not let it get you down. Don’t let it destroy your inner peace.
Mean people are unhappy people. And they are usually chronically unhappy. Chronically unhappy people have a hard life…it takes a tremendous amount of energy to always be unhappy.
Why are they unhappy? Most unhappy people have common characteristics:
- They believe that life is hard and never, ever look for the good.
- They don’t trust people.
- They concentrate on what’s wrong instead of what’s right.
- They compare themselves to others and are jealous and resentful of other’ success and happiness.
- They strive to control.
- They have a negative approach to the future, constantly worrying and fearing.
- They are the gossipers and complainers.
And, to me, the worst thing about unhappy people? They want you to be unhappy too! The old saying, “Misery loves company,” is true.
But don’t let them do that to you. Remind yourself that your happiness depends on you keeping your inner peace and living in your joy. Remind yourself that you can choose who you hang with, who you listen to and who is happy. Keep your inner peace.
Peaceful Blessings To You From Sterrett, Alabama!
