Some days it seems like BULLIES are popping up at every turn.
Like a master bartender, they stir up a toxic cocktail of name calling, threatening behavior, chaos and conflict in order to control and manipulate everyone around them.
The more we drink what they are serving - the more we empower, enable and encourage the proliferation of their brand; always a poisonous concoction.
While they may be intoxicated with their delusional version of “winning” - the best cup we can serve is calm, cool, centered sobriety.
Non-reactivity is their nightmare and usually shuts down their drama fueled invitation to verbally and emotionally spar.
Life is short.
Time is precious.
It is up to each of us to protect our moments, our peace of mind and quality of life.
Today I am choosing gratitude, graciousness, kindness and peace as my personal boundaries.
And in that space - I have no room for bullies.
