SOVEREIGNTY
IN EVERYDAY
LIFE
You can not force someone to respect you,but you can refuse to be disrespected.
Being nice isn’t always required or appropriate.
It’s not that some people have willpower and some
don’t.
It is that some people are willing to change and some don’t.
People don’t like when you show them how it feels to be treated the way they treat you.
No response is a response.
And it is a powerful one.
Remember that.
People don't know how to build healthy relationships.
They end up saying things like: "I don't owe anyone
anything."
Oh, yes, you do owe other people something.
You owe those you offended an apology.
You owe those who gave you support, gratitude
and you owe those you disrespect, respect.
Accountability is a personal act of integrity and moral
principles.
We will live in a broken society, until we learn to
account
for our actions that impact other peoples lives negatively.
The only people who are mad at you for speaking the truth are those who are living a lie.
Do not reduce yourself for people who refuse to grow.
You can’t change people, so don’t drive yourself crazy
trying.
Instead just change how you deal with them, or just stay away
from them.
Don't make the mistake of being so understanding and
forgiving
that you overlook the fact that you're being disrespected.
When someone who's job it is to nurture you hurts you
instead
it can't help but have a profound and lasting effect on your
sense of who you are.
Do not throw away yourself.
Ignorance can be educated.
Crazy can be medicated.
But there is no cure for stupid.
Common sense is not all that common these days. Voltaire
Wrong is wrong – even if everyone is doing it.
Right is right – even if no one is doing it.
A smart person knows what to say.
A wise person knows wether or not to say it.
Silence is the best answer to someone who does not value your words.
Don’t waste your energy trying to change opinions.
Do your thing and do not care if others like it.
It is O.K. to live a life others do not understand.
Distance yourself from people who
– lie to you
– disrespect you
– use you
– put you down
It is not necessary to react to everything you notice.
Boundaries are very important for being honest, being yourself and maintaining yourself.
If it is important to people they will find a way.
If not, they will find excuses.
Never argue with a lier.
You can’t win because they stick to their lies.
Arguing with a fool only proves that there are two.
Silence is the best reply to a fool.
When people treat you like they don’t care, believe them.
Always have the courage to be yourself.
„I stand in my truth and in my trust in myself.
That is exactly where I will continue to stand.“
