Never get UPSET when anyone says the WRONG THING to you.
Use it as a PRACTICE RUN to test your Acceptance level.
This way the Negativity of their insult becomes the Positivity of your practice.
Every one comes up trumps.
Ignore your thoughts that you think—they may think, you are weak for not retaliating.
You are a lot BIGGER than they are.
You build your SELF CONFIDENCE up by doing this regularly.
Just ride everything through and carry on carrying on, not giving it a second thought.
