People have all kinds of ideas about everything. We’re all different and the way we see the world may be completely different than those around us. We interpret what we see and hear through our own personal filters. Different ideas may work against us at times if what we say or do is interpreted to mean something entirely different than what we intend. Aspersions may be unjustly cast on our character due to incorrect interpretations and may cause us great discomfort as we try to figure out what happened. If someone says something about us that has no basis in fact or reality but is merely based on their translation of something we did, we may find ourselves trying to untangle a mess we didn’t create. The truth will always rise in time but in the interim we may be twisted around defending ourselves even if we’ve done nothing wrong. The world is filled with all kinds of people and we have no control over what they think or do. They may cause us considerable grief because they mistakenly believe something untoward about us. If that happens, we will have to work through the situation until we find resolution. It’s frustrating to feel persecuted unjustly and it may complicate our lives until we find the way through. Truth is truth and will always rise. No matter what has happened we will find the answers and correct any situation necessary. We can stand firm and confident that our personal integrity and excellence will shine through. We will find the answers and reach resolution.
No matter how nice and friendly we are, not everybody will always be our friend. There may be times we meet someone who doesn’t like us or with whom we find it difficult to interact. Perhaps their temperament is unpredictable, or they are angry or judgmental. We have no control over what others do but we can control our response to anything they bring. We can be gracious and kind in the face of anger, and polite and calm if things get out of control. We are always in control of ourselves and can choose the best road regardless of what is happening around us.
Some people are dishonest and unethical. If we have high personal standards it may be difficult to interact with them. If we must work with them and they do things that are not in keeping with our values we may be very uncomfortable. We don’t ever have to compromise what is important to us. We can express our personal views and walk away from any situation that isn’t in keeping with them. Our lives are ours and we may hold fast to what is important to us. Opinions vary but our standards are ours to keep. We can live true to the values we cherish and stay focused on what we want the most.
Today if someone has said something about you that isn’t true, remember your actions express who you really are. Words mean nothing when they don’t represent what is real. Continue to hold fast to the values you cherish and be the best person you can be. Set an example of honesty and truth to the world around you. You are amazing and nothing can diminish you. Be confident and strong. You know who you are and nothing will hold you back from achieving every goal you desire.
