Have you ever felt like people pleasing is sometimes not worth the effort? No matter how hard you try, someone is going to find fault with something that you do. People are just that way. You give of your time willingly and give it your best effort and along comes someone who did not put in one minutes worth of work, and has the nerve to tell you (or someone else) what is wrong with it or how they could have done it better. Can you say hurt feelings? A little bit angry?
I understand, because it’s happened to me many times. It’s happened to me right here at Inspirations! I’ve learned to “Let It Go” as the song says. We all need to do more of that. People can be so rude and unkind. It somehow makes them feel more powerful to put others down. There are times in our lives where you do have to correct someone but please remember that you can do it with grace, kindness and consideration. A good leader leads and does not bully!
Remember if someone puts you down or makes you feel less than, it’s their problem, not yours. You keep doing the things that you know to do, the things that are positive, and release the hurt they inflict and let it go!

Unfortunately some people get a high from trying to destroy the morale of anyone they think might be doing better than they are. I have a sister who only finds joy in condemning others. If she can control them,, they are safe. If she can’t, watch out.
