If they believe the lies without hearing your side of the story, they’re already looking to be against you.

Have you ever felt incredibly misjudged for the opinion or perspective that others may have put forth publicly about you?

When a vicious rumor circulates to our disadvantage, there is every opportunity for a general public to determine whether or not they accept what is being shared about you or whether they believe there is something much more credible underneath the surface.

When a rumor circulates, no matter how large or small, it inevitably sparks opportunity for the parties to feel entirely misunderstood, and as a result misjudged.

When we are feeling aggrieved, we are either looking deep within, in order that we might question how or why some of those rumors might have been created so that we might shore up various details in our overall arsenal of resources to minimize or mitigate those stimuli, that seem to put us in the path of negativity.

As others weigh in on their perspectives about us, we are left with the reality that some people are predetermined to want to believe all negativity about us for any one of numerous particular reasons, because of their predisposition towards believing what they will.

In many cases, our very best opportunity lies in such a moment, for while it might feel in part like a day of reckoning of sorts, in reality, it is actually a signpost on our path through life in which we have ample opportunity to weigh in on the things that have given us cause for consternation and leverage that reflection in order that we might best determine how and why others are so readily willing to accept something that is factually inaccurate about us.

With these variables taken into consideration, we are all the more empowered to mature in small but significant ways, and therefore potentially preclude the same from happening going forward.

At the end of the day, there will always be haters and they are most likely never going to change, so when we encounter someone behaving as such, we might be well served to look in an alternate direction and plot our path of navigation in ways that preclude their participation with us, going forward.

Happy Thursday!
