What Do You Do About People Who Are Working Against You?

In reference to a recent post (Use Gratitude to Find Your Purpose in Life), a reader wrote:

"Hello Ever Dearest Sir Tony,

You must know that I enjoy your every Sunday's Articles very much. And today's article is the most BEAUTIFUL SUBJECT Which resonate with my attitude of being Grateful in everything.

Dearest Sir Tony, you just don't know that every article you have shared with us have inspired my Soul in anything I wanted to happen in life. At times, what I experienced in this life were very devastating and there are times I couldn't comprehend the meaning out of it.

It is helping a lot tremendously most of the articles you have shared with us particularly to the people like myself that nobody I can turn to when times are tough. Living so alone in life isn't very easy for me as visually handicap.

But with my attitude of being grateful for anything and everything, I survive perfectly and very contented with The Divine Providence & With The Divine Intervention That's Happening In My Daily Existence.

Sir Tony, ever since, I have this burning question: How come that despite of my lack of vision, why some of the people are so intrigue with my personality?

I'm just behaving the way I should. I'm not a beauty queen neither a daughter of a rich family. I'm a failure when it comes to love affairs. No matter of being sincere, honest, helpful and friendly towards everyone, I am always misunderstood?

Sir Tony, I will greatly appreciate any advice or suggestions that will help to improve myself. Thanks Immensely.

With My Heart Felt Gratitude & Much Love,

I replied:

"Hi <name deleted>,

I'd like to answer your question in an upcoming blog post. However, I don't understand it. Could you ask it in a different way and possibly give me an example or two of what you mean?

Thanks,

Tony"

The reader replied:

"Dearest Sir Tony,

Thanks Sir For having the time to examine my very personal issue. I just wonder as being visually impaired, I couldn't get the concept why many people I encounter in my life are intrigued for what am I?

As I have said, I'm not a real beauty queen, I have nothing to be very proud of. Meaning to say: Whatever I may do to be of use by sharing my talent, people start to provoke in making things difficult for me?

I will give you one very clear example: Like for instant, as being talented in music I'd love to share what I learned to play the piano instrument just by hearing. I am giving free lessons in piano playing to those who are interested, but my effort were being ridiculed it's due to I am not a music professor and not educated in a school of conservatory of music.

Sir Tony, mind you there are several things I have been helpful to those who were in need and I never asked for anything in return. But now and then, my so called friends are trying to block painted my image. Therefore, in all my rejections, betrayals and difficulties I only ask My Supreme Creator God to strengthen my will.

Do I have to detach myself completely with all the people I interact? Or I should avoid being so honest with anyone. Sorry to say that there are still so much disrespect towards people having disabilities like myself. Only very few true human beings fully accept and respect the capabilities of disabled People.

Sir Tony, my apology for telling you what I have been experiencing in this life, but it doesn't stop me of being grateful of my entire life. My Heart Felt Gratitude to the Universe & Most of All To The Absolute Creator Of My Whole Being. Thanks a Million Times For Your Understanding and Love to hear from you soon.

With Much Love & More Blessings From Above,

I replied:

"Hi <name deleted>,

I'm still not sure that I understand your use of the word 'intrigued', as in 'intrigued for what am I'. Do you mean critical of who you are or something else?

Tony"

The reader replied:

"Dearest Sir Tony,

I wish that I'm personally standing before you, perhaps you can better get what I truly mean of the word (INTRIGUE), it's only the closest description for the people wanted to harm or injured my Spirit by indirect means. As for my understanding, intrigue is the making of hidden plans to harm or deceive people.

In my case, as I explained to you in my previous emails, I just wonder why some people are making things difficult for myself despite their knowing being lack of vision I am limited in many ways. The word Intrigue is also use in a positive way, example I am intrigue with people who are very talented in piano playing particularly while playing they will play with their heart and soul. They are the kind of people I admire so much and I'm interested with, another positive meaning of the word intrigue, most men are intrigue to see some very beautiful women?

Sir Tony, I couldn't use the word (JEALOUSY) to the people who wanted my downfall. I don't have nothing which they should be jealous of myself. I am much aware of my own personality except of being sincere, honest to goodness, humoristic, ready to help anyone and friendly in nature. It hurt me so much that most of my so called friends disagree with my personal opinion, it doesn't matter for me after all, but since they lose the power to control over myself, they cannot accept that a blind person can outsmart them instead they are trying to block paint my image.

Sir Tony, wishing that I can freely confess my inner feelings to you. I can only express and describe my sentiments towards the people who have done me wrong. This is what I mean of the kind of bad loser are intrigue in the negative way. Sir Tony, I only hope that this are the closest I can think of, I can't give you more explanations about the word (INTRIGUE). I apologize deeply that my question were meaningless. There is nothing mysterious about myself.

It doesn't matter at all. People who have meet me personally can only judge with the way I behave, talk and manage my life so alone. GRATITUDE Is My Secret! Thanks Sir Tony For Your Being Very Patient With Me.

With Lots & Lots Of Love,

Okay. Got it!

Two things:

First, you really need to work on your self-esteem. If, deep down inside, you felt like you were an important, valuable, capable, worthy person, which, by your very existence, you are, you wouldn't care what other people said or thought. The reason that what they say or think bothers you is that, again, deep down inside, you believe that they're right!

How do you improve your self-esteem?

First and foremost, you need to understand and accept who you are.

In "Your Own Ability", the sixth of the fifteen articles in his Lessons in Constructive Science series, Wallace D. Wattles wrote:

"... you are a god. You may not be manifesting much god-power just yet, but you are going to; you have it within you, and you only need to come to yourself."

I suggest that you get yourself a copy of that article and its sister article "The Matter of Attitude", the seventh of the fifteen articles in Mr. Wattles' Lessons in Constructive Science series, and read them again and again and again until you get it. As a matter of fact, in your case, memorizing them wouldn't be a bad idea. Click or tap the links below to get your copies today.

Second, personally, I don't give a rat's you know what about what other people say or think about me or what I do, and neither should you. I'm way too busy going about my life and moving in the direction of my next next-level vision to pay them any concern whatsoever.

In my experience, folks who are running around asking why this and why that and are overly concerned about what others say, think, or do, which you clearly are, lack a clear sense of purpose and direction in their lives and are sitting around stagnating instead of taking meaningful action that's moving them forward.

So, my advice to you would be to create yourself a next-level vision that reflects what's truly important to you and what you really want next in your life and begin moving toward it. Do that, and all that other stuff will go away.

A very wealthy man once told me that the only thing that's important to understand about anything is that it's not important to understand it. You might want to give that some thought today.

[Tony Mase]

One more thing. Gratitude is certainly important. However, I find that many people use gratitude as an excuse for inaction. They'll run around essentially saying "my life sucks, but I'm grateful for it" instead of fixing what it is that sucks about it. Just sayin'.

[Sarathkumar]

Dear Sir Tony. My answer to the question about what to do with people who are working against me is simple. I will forgive them and move on. I will not react but respond that way. Why give energy to what I don’t want

Thanks for your comment Sarathkumar!
