Be a friend to your enemy

We all have foes along our path and that's basically the nature of humans. There's no telling who will be your enemy unless they put you down in a shameful way. But in truth, you don't need to take in their poison because they can actually be encouragement. 

So, lots of us will find someone that bully you. It could be family, friends, coworkers, or strangers. And you may find it hard to understand why they're doing this. There are many reasons for someone to bully and it can make us feel less confident. I know that everyone tries to walk away or cause an abruption. But avoiding their foes or causing a scene isn't always necessary. A third option that people can try is to learn from their enemies. 

Okay, you're probably thinking, "What is there to learn from someone who doesn't respect me?" 

And yes that can be true for the most part. But whenever the person shoots you with a bunch of criticism or hateful comments then this is a good chance to turn it into encouragement. With encouragement, you can learn a lot from becoming a better person to working hard to prove they're wrong. Let's say someone believes you're not a good dancer. Instead of taking in their poison and keeping it, you can turn it as a friendly note to work extra hard to be a talented dancer. I've learn that this is called constructive criticism meaning that giving rude comments in a way it becomes inspiration. Believe it or not, throwing harsh comments about someone won't matter to that person because they can use it as improvement and it wouldn't matter to the bully since they're insecure. 

Running away or back stabbing your enemies wouldn't lift your confidence. Use their voice as inspiration because this will improve your skills, happiness, and confidence. Thank your enemies and appreciate the words of encouragement they give you. 



See ya next time! Ciao ^__^

  1. I couldn't agree more. In life we will meet so many types of people, and some of them are bound to dislike you one way or the other. The best thing we can do is take those criticisms and make yourself into a better person. Rise above them. Great post Linnie! :)

  3. Fantastic points. You're so right. Being a bully back or being mean back doesn't achieve anything. I've found that people who are outwardly mean often have many personal issues. Kindness can help...possibly. :]

  4. Really wise words! Loving your enemies, or at least trying to, is really hard, but so is letting them be your enemies. Nice blog :)

  6. This is a great message and I really enjoyed your post. I think that 'haters' or enemies only make us stronger, so in a way, we do gain a lot from them, despite it initially not feeling that way

    I’d really love it if we followed each other :)
