Stand up

You have to stand up for yourself because no one else will.

Only bitter, jealous people think it’s alright for them to talk shit about someone, but how dare you stand up for yourself and tell everyone the truth about them because they paint a picture to everyone that they are the victim when in fact, they are the problem.

Standing up for yourself can be hard sometimes, but you must realize that no one else will if you do not stand up for yourself and protect your inner peace. I know this fact is hard to accept, but it is true. Most of the time, when someone else talks about you, it is because the other person is broken and bitter in some area of their personal life. Now, does this mean that they are bad people? Not all people are wrong; they tend to make bad choices based on their current situation.

When other people try to paint a negative picture about you, try to look at the person who is doing the talking because you will soon notice that they are the one with the internal issues, not you, and I say this because the very person that is talking about you and playing the victim they are in fact the one with the problem. They feel that if they could silence your voice, then others think they have some form of control over you and that what you say and think about yourself is all that is supposed to matter. The problem is that most of us are so used to pleasing others that we lose sight of what is truly important to us.

No one should ever be allowed to dictate how you move in any area of your life, and to those who think it is fantastic to throw shade at others because they are not on the same level as someone else, you are wrong for making others feel bad because you feel bad. No one wants to be around someone who always has a negative word for others because they lack the intelligence to mind their business.

Honestly, those people who are jealous and bitter over someone else are not your problem. It is a problem because they have not come to a place in their own life where they can find healing in the most unexpected places. You must learn that this world does not revolve around one individual. It revolves around all of us; we all need to be able to work together, not apart. Now, I am not saying that you have to work well with everyone, but I am saying that if you are a giver like I am, you already know your inner power and the players on your team.

It is okay to move players to other positions if need be. Just make sure you move the players to the positions they are good at. You can not afford to have someone in a financial position when you know that the person mismanages money, and you can not afford to have someone in a position that is not emotionally stable because they will break you and everything you worked so hard for down.

Now, if you do have to move some players and notice that they start acting negatively towards you because of your power move for your team, you already know to let them go completely. As a giver, I used to always try to give damn near everything I had to help others, but now I do not do this anymore because I found out that some people are not equipped to give you the same amount of love, time, energy, mental, physical, and emotional support because if they could, they would.
