Don’t be Discouraged by People: All people do is talk about people. Unfortunately some people will drag your name into the mud by spreading, twisted stories, nasty rumors and plain lies about you. Others will make up stories, exaggerate your mistakes and falsify facts about your life. Then there are those who will seek to discredit your successes, dishonor your achievements and ignore your accomplishments. Don’t be distracted by all this. Don’t even be tempted to respond to them; it isn’t worth your attention and time. You have better things to do than worry about what people think and say about you. While they waste time talking about you, use your valuable time to better yourself and make a difference in the lives of others. Keep your head high and your eyes and ears above ordinary talk. Cheap talkers operate on short wave with lots of interference and interruptions. Tune into God Frequency Modulation and all other voices will grow strangely faint. Some things you just have to let in through one ear and out through the other and move on with your life. Sometimes you just have to pray, “Lord, forgive them for they don’t know what they do.”
