Giving help to those who are negative, show resentment to you or are prejudiced towards you, will make a big difference to your own life.
Some simple strategies will help:
· Pray for them. These people need your prayers. Most of them don’t even know they have a problem. They actually think you are the problem.
· Keep your distance from them.
· Never badmouth them. You should be above pettiness. Petty gossip is for the lazy and the losers. If their names come up in your conversation, either say something nice or say nothing at all.
· Don’t take it personally. It may hurt when others behave jealously towards you, but don’t let that disturb your peace of mind.
· Prove them wrong. If you have the opportunity, do them a favour or open some doors for them – do it anyway. Yes, it will show that you are the bigger person and have no time to bang heads with people.
· Ignore all the gossip. Be a diplomat and stay true to yourself, in spite of critics.
