Life, life is really full of mystery and questions, about how we can improve our life to the maximum heights of improvement. In this world, if we don’t continue to polish ourselves, we will fall behind in the races of life, and ultimately find that we no longer belong to the first-class group of people.
Especially today, we are in the era of globalization, and the demand for time is too great, and the only people who can qualify in these challenges are those people who keep observing and improving their self.
Why should we continually improve? And what was the purpose of this?
We need to improve ourselves because in this world we have many competitors as well as people who are trying to bring us down in the arena of life. They exert all their efforts and use sweet words to lure their victims into their trap. These people that I think we should pay more attention and tact in dealing with because these groups of individuals are dangerous, dangerous, and poisonous. They are like a virus that tries to fry its victims alive that even the surgeon doctor cannot help them cure their diseases and has a hard time curing the poisons and scars of their victims.
The crimes of their tongues are words of evil, anger, malice, envy, bitterness, harsh criticism, gossip, lies and scandal. According to William George Jordan robbery and murder are terrible crimes, in a single year the added pain, grief and suffering they cause in a nation is microscopic compared to the pains that come from crimes of the tongue. At the hands of their thieves or murderers few of us suffer even indirectly. But from the careless tongue of the friend, the cruel tongue of envy, who is free?
He went on to comment: “No human being can live a life so true, so righteous, so pure as to be beyond the reach of malice, or immune from the poisonous emanations of envy. Insidious attacks on one’s reputation, The disgusting insinuations, the calumnies, the half lies with which jealous mediocrity seeks to ruin its superiors, are like those parasitic insects that kill the heart and life of a mighty oak.”
He lamented, “so cowardly is the method, so stealthy the throw of the poisoned thorns, so insignificant the separate acts in their appearance, that one is not on guard against them. It is easier to dodge an elephant than a microbe.”
So how can we protect ourselves from them before they take us down?
Below are the strategies and tips. Read them carefully and apply it to yourselves, dear readers. Use it as a shield and weapon against them. I wrote it here, so that you are not the next victims of these dangerous and poisonous toxic individuals. I will pray to God that this article will give you great help and source of guidance for your daily life as well as progress in life and guide you to get closer to Him.
1. Nurture your character. Because your character will be your only and best weapon to keep your mouth shut against the evil tongues of your enemies. Because your character will cover and protect your reputation.
2. Be an open-minded person. Give yourself plenty of time and space to lend your ears and discuss your point of view. If you think their words don’t make sense, ask them this question: Do you think I need a critic right now?
3. Control and manage your language and temper. Keep quiet and watch them. Remember that there is great power in silence. It will make your opponent feel distressed, embarrassed, disgusting, awkward, and uncomfortable.
4. Close your eyes and ears. Close your eyes and ears against someone negative and toxic who will secretly open their mouth against you. If you don’t get his words, they fly back and hurt him. If you get them, they fly forward and hurt you!
5. Never criticize them. Criticizing him only marks, shows and acknowledges that you are an inferior person. Always keep in mind that a tongue wound is worse than a sword wound. Because the latter affects only the body; the first affects the spirit. Always remember to be patient when dealing with people because you are not dealing with a people of logic but with a people of emotions.
6. Show them your kindness. I’ve learned these secrets that the noble way to destroy an enemy is not to kill him, but you can kindly change him out of being an enemy, and then they kill him.
7. Always be humble. I have learned this new knowledge and wisdom that we cannot control the bad language of others, but a good life allows us to ignore them.
8. Wait whenever there is a Deserter. In my 26 years on this planet earth, I have learned that no one is safe from gossip and slander. The best way is not to pay attention to it, but to live with humility and innocence and let the world speak. But for those who have fun making fire… do what you want but pay for it! Because God said: Vengeance is mine!
9. Make a list of all your weaknesses and eliminate them daily. Every human being has their own strengths and weaknesses. So starting today, examine and evaluate your being. Make a list of all your weaknesses and promise yourself that you must try with all your might to eliminate all your weaknesses step by step. By doing so, you will become the master of yourself!
10. Keep praying and Trust God. Because for men everything is impossible but for God nothing is impossible. And always remember these words, over and over to yourself: When you’re at your weakest, God is at your greatest. So don’t worry, be happy. You can if you think you can!
For those who enjoy planting fire, think about this carefully:
Thousands of men breathe, move and live, pass from the stage of life and are heard no more. Why? They did not give a particle of good in the world. None were injured by them. None could point to them as the instrument of his redemption. Their light went out in the dark and they were reminded of nothing but the insects of yesterday. Will you live and die? Live for something!
