They use their word to lie, manipulate, blame, complain about us to others and create toxic environments. \u00a0So how can we deal with such stories that we know are not true? \u00a0When others believe them as well and friends turn on friends, or families turn on families because people forget to question the story they are listening too. \u00a0It can be quite painful, and hurtful when others create drama, chaos, and lies about you.<\/p>\n<p>The most important thing is first to check in with you. See how you are feeling. \u00a0Do you feel charged by what others are saying? If so, be with it, and ask, \u201cWhat am I believing about myself in this situation?\u201d \u00a0The belief will announce itself. \u00a0Then forgive the belief, \u201cI forgive my belief in\u2026.\u201d \u00a0and remind yourself that you love you. \u00a0In this space, you may have a different perspective on where others are coming from, that it is not about you, they are experiencing what they are experiencing. \u00a0Forgive them when you are ready, but for now, hopefully you are ready to see a different perspective.<\/p>\n<p>Remember you can\u2019t out wit the omnipresence of life. \u00a0It is pointless. They will have to deal with heaven on their own terms. \u00a0Accept, learn, and take action from your learning. \u00a0Don\u2019t let others bring you down, instead be the place that others must lift up. \u00a0Have a good weekend.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.patheos.com\/blogs\/sites\/221\/2012\/08\/d459b733-a6a7-404b-b00d-cc0226b328c7.large-profile.jpg\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1337\" title=\"d459b733-a6a7-404b-b00d-cc0226b328c7.large-profile\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.patheos.com\/blogs\/sites\/221\/2012\/08\/d459b733-a6a7-404b-b00d-cc0226b328c7.large-profile.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"459\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230;. how can we deal with such stories that we know are not true?
