You can’t control what people do. If they want to be offensive, hard to get along with, that’s their choice. But you can control how you respond. Keep your heart pure. Save your emotional energy to live this day to the fullest, to pursue your dreams, to love your family, to be good to your neighbors.
What you’re telling yourself in difficult times will make you or break you. You may feel empty, you may feel defeated, but don’t go around announcing it, speaking it out. Those words are going out of your mouth and right back into your own spirit.
