Immature knock-down artists

“If someone is strong enough to bring you down, show them you are strong enough to get up.” ~Unknown

Sometimes, unfortunately, we come into contact with people who lack effective problem-solving strategies.  The end result is that they resort to ineffective coping strategies, which rear their ugly heads in self-preservation-based, accountability-shirking behaviors.  These behaviors may include undermining others, back biting, starting and/or spreading rumors, bullying, passive-aggressive behavior, sarcasm, losing control, and the like.  It’s really sad, because people who engage in these behaviors have never learned how to solve problems, so all they can resort to are these immature and ineffective strategies.  They are all intended to chip away at the self-confidence of someone who they feel makes them feel uncomfortable (or intimidated by, or inferior to), as well as placing accountability on someone else.

The next time you encounter someone who is resorting to these behaviors, remember that these people lack maturity and are “amateurs” at conducting themselves like an adult.

Don’t ever let anyone bring you down to their level, by resorting to tactics like trying to get even, or giving others a “taste of their own medicine.”  You are above such immature and ineffective tactics.

Show those around you that you operate not out of fear, but out of love and abundant greatness.  Let your personal greatness shine!  You are great, today is a great day to prove it!

Have a wonderful day!
