Goal for the Day: Don't be Bullied

You don’t have to be in school to encounter a bully. The bullies from the playground grew up to be even bigger bullies. We encounter bullies in all walks of life—in offices, in stores, on the road. These are people who are frightened and angry. They lash out because they want you to feel as bad as they do. Don’t let them.

There’s no need to be antagonistic. Simply rise above them. By responding to them, you’re only giving them the power that they want. All you need to do is go on about your business. By taking the wind out of their sails, they won’t have the energy or the desire to bully you any further.

You are your own person, you are your own director. The way you think, act and feel is ultimately up to you. Remember your own power and worth and let the bullies eat themselves.
