Blame

People will blame you for things that are not your fault when they are unwilling to take responsibility for their actions. You cannot reason with someone who is unwilling to live in reality.

Sometimes people will tell you things that are absolutely wrong because they cannot handle the truth.

Not everything that someone says to you is valid.

Sure, there is great value in taking feedback and truly evaluating it. You should always look for what truth exists in what is being said. The more people who say the same message, the more reflection you should give to that feedback. And then there are times where people say things that are outright untrue and harmful.

You need to apply both humility and discernment to what people say.

There are people who have said some incredibly hurtful things to me. People who have slandered who I am. People who have come at me for things that I have not done.

Your unwillingness to hear truth does not change who I am.

It is my responsibility to evaluate their words, recognize the lies, and refuse to give power to them. I choose whose words I allow to sink in.

One of the greatest things you can ever do is remove power from someone who should not have any.

No, you cannot control what they say or think. No, you cannot stop that from happening. But when you continue to live with dignity and integrity, that will show.
