There is “who we are” when things are good - people are kind, loving, respectful to us and then who we choose to be when people aren’t kind, loving and respectful. It’s hard to stay true to who we are and stick to our values when people push us in a negative way. We will feel the urge to do “tit for tat” but staying true when others are not good to us is when the true test of our character. More than that, it allows other people to get a glimpse into “another way” and you never know when that glimpse will eventually be how they choose to behave and be. It can literally change their life. Staying true to who we are regardless of what is happening on the outside is one of life’s biggest challenges for us. In this episode, I share my experience with doing this with others and how others showing me a different way helped me be a better version of myself.
