COLLAGE HUMAN POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT | ...HOW DO YOU Deal with lack of #KINDNESS... 🎖You must, first and foremost, recognize that how people #treat you is a perfect reflection #WhoTheyAre and #WhereTheyAre in their own lives. It, absolutely, has nothing to do with you. Honestly. You just so happen to be the, unfortunate target, is all. For this #recognition is the first step to successfully #overcoming that painful #unkind act. 🎖NOW, you must then, muster the courage to, understand and see the #Opportunity that hides in plain sight of this unpleasant act. THE OPPORTUNITY here rests in how you elect to go about handling this situation: you can elect to either #REACT or #RESPOND. 🎖I encourage you to, always, RESPOND--as opposed to react--for to REACT is to retaliate. Do not #retaliate. Instead, seek to understand, from a place of empathy, as to WHAT THEY ARE TRYING to tell you with their cruel behavior. I KNOW THIS, for sure, because I used to react to any form of UNKINDNESS, whatsover, in my life. But, then, I had a REALIZATION: I began to realize that it was more effective when I responded to situations an/or acts of #misfortune I encountered in life. 🎖RESPONDING PUTS you in a better position to manage your emotions. It allows you have the space to think and be in, better, CONTROL of your #feelings. AND HE or SHE who has a strong-hold control of their feelings/emotions always come out a winner, in the end.
