DON'T LOSE YOUR PEACE OVER PIECES!

A beggar was at the roadside begging for alms. After having spent about three hours calling out to passersby, nobody showed up except one man.

You would have thought this man will be willing enough to drop a coin in the beggar's bowl. But that was not the case, as the man stood and start insulting the poor beggar.

First, he said the beggar is a nonentity for disturbing the neighborhood. He went on to use other foul languages on this beggar. The so called beggar was just quiet without saying a word. 

Then, the impolite man asked the beggar if every foul languages he had been using doesn't really matter to him?

The beggar paused a while and then smiled. Then he told the insensitive man this shocking words:,

 ' I chose not to accept every negative words you've been using against me, that's why those words do not really matter to me. If I had accepted them as my reality, they would have remained with me and they would have made me lose my peace'

The impolite man was ashamed after all. He apologized to the beggar and then walked away!

The point is this:

When people stand in your way and to want to make you feel bad with their negative attitude and foul languages. Do you just sit right there and accept everything they're saying as your reality?

You can as well behave like that beggar and choose not to accept whatever is been thrown at you. Whatever you accept already has power over you, but if you don't, then it doesn't!

Your peace is your most valuable asset. Learn to protect it and use it for productive purposes! Don't allow negative and insensitive people to steal your peace from you!
