Sometimes, you can do everything right, yet some people will try anything and everything to bring you down.
Why does this happen? The reasons are countless—many you'll never truly know or understand. And honestly, that uncertainty doesn't make it any easier. In fact, it can make the sting even sharper.
Some people seem to always find something wrong, no matter what you do. Many are unfortunately stuck in a cycle of perpetual unhappiness, carrying burdens that have nothing to do with you but everything to do with their own unresolved struggles.
Here's the big lesson I've learned, and the tip I want to share with you: don't let it affect you. I know—easier said than done. Trust me, I understand how hard this is. When someone's words cut deep or their actions feel like personal attacks, stepping back feels nearly impossible.
But everything shifts when you understand that their negativity isn't a reflection of your worth.
That realization takes away the power of harsh words—they stop being wounds and become signs of someone else's struggle. You don't have to take on their burdens or let their pain define how you see yourself.
Misery loves company, and some people will try to pull you into their darkness. But you have a choice. You can choose to protect your peace, maintain your integrity, and continue doing what you know is right—regardless of who tries to dim your light.
Remember: their reaction to your goodness says nothing about you and everything about them. Keep shining anyway.
