You don't need to respond to everyone. Know this; everyone does not deserve your response. Don't waste your time on things that do not matter. Time is precious! Time is life!! Time is irreversible!!! Therefore, make your time count.
Silence, they say is golden. Know when to speak and when to be quiet, when to respond and when not to respond.
Sometimes, people do things to intentionally hurt you. They say outrageous things about you because they want you to respond so they can start a fight. The best thing to do at this point is to be silent. Truth will always find its way to the light.
Sometimes, it is pointless to defend yourself; especially with people that do not count, naysayers and tale bearers.
Do your best to be the best you can be in life. Focus on knowing God more and fulfilling your purpose. Get busy with dreams, visions and goals. Anyone who does not have anything important to say, any good idea or inspiration to share but will only discuss people with you, should not be your friend. Know this, whoever discusses others with you, will also discuss you with others.
Listen, life is too short to waste time on things that do not count. Just keep being you. Oh, “I can't help but respond to them, they lied about me!” Some say. Relax, friend. That person does not deserve your response. When we respond to people's tales about us, we give them the voice and audience they never had. You are far bigger than that, so stay calm and watch the drama unfold. You will be glad you did.
Be in charge of your life. Don't let people manipulate your emotions and thereby control your life. You will always have negative criticism in life as long as you live. The only way out is when you die. So learn not to react to the happenings of life but rather act. You are your own boss. When people expect you to burst out in anger, be calm and smile. Just say to yourself; “It is ok.” I am the boss of my life and I will not let myself fall prey to this temptation.
Whoever controls your feelings controls your life. Therefore, stay in charge of your emotions no matter what happens. Master the art of controlling and directing your feelings. This might not be easy to do at first but try to live in the consciousness of not letting people toy with your emotions. Control your anger, and talk less when you are angry. Develop yourself and work on your emotional intelligence, for you will surely need it on your journey to greatness!
Always remember these:
Not everybody deserves your response!
You don't need to respond to every accusation!!
Not every battle is worth fighting!!!
Stay in charge of your life and activities...
Remain unbeatable, for there is no other person like you.
You will surely win irrespective of what anyone says or thinks, if only you think and believe you can. Greatness is waiting at your door. Therefore, fight only the battles that will open the door to your greatness. You are the best of your kind and nothing can change that. You were created for greatness, pursue it and live great!
