Stop Letting People Get the Best of You: Pay Them No Mind

One of the common frustrations that we ALL experience as humans, is having to deal with difficult people or with people that we simply do not see eye-to-eye with. Whenever we get around these types of people, it can alter our mood. We might start talking about them in our heads, or frown at them when they are not looking in our direction.

On a personal level, I find it difficult to ignore dream-bashers and life-critics. You know those people_ usually family and "so-called" friends. They are the people who constantly down-talk you because they don't understand what is going on with you and they really don't care to understand either. They have no problem examining the faults, while completely ignoring their own flaws. It is not uncommon for family to expect you to be perfect, while they continue to be human_ keeping at their bad habits. It makes you wonder whether or not those who criticize you ever even take the time to look at the plank in their own eye.

In struggling with this dilemma myself, concept of "Pay Them No Mind" came to me as the solution for dealing with people who disturb your peace-of-mind. So what exactly can you do to "Pay them no mind?"

"No Mind" means that your MIND doesn't even give them any attention_ none whatsoever. Let it go in one ear and out the other_ as if the experience never even existed. Bottom line is this - DON'T DWELL ON IT.

Being overly concerned with other people can be a huge stumbling block. It can delay your increase, for as long as you let them have YOUR power.

What you have to keep reminding yourself about people, is that everyone is pretty much the same. There is no one better than you. There is no one stronger than you. And there is no one who has any special powers that you do not have also. If you still think that you are body, and not the powerful SPIRIT (energy and power) that you are, then you might not understand what I am talking about.

You are SPIRIT; just like everybody else. You are POWER; just like everybody else. You are PURE ENERGY; just like everybody else. Maybe you didn't know this, or perhaps you are still trying to realize this about yourself. The fact of the matter is that EVERYBODY is the same and nobody deserves more attention than you, more respect than you, or more consideration than you. The most important person in YOUR life, should always be you.

Change isn't going to happen overnight, but I promise you that if you only just keep reminding yourself of how much more important you are, than anyone else in the world, then you will find yourself to have more patience. And most importantly, you will no longer allow people to get underneath your skin. When you allow people to irritate you, then you are handing over power to them that they simply do not deserve_ the power to control YOUR energy. STOP letting people get the best of you!
