Tip of the day 6/30/15: Learn to be unaffected by the words of others

Most people get angry when someone calls them outside of their name.  If I called you a water bottle would you get mad at that?  Of corse not, in fact you might think I was crazy.  A person that is calling you names is acting like a child, if someone is mad at you demeaning your name doesn’t do anything but make them look childish.  In the entertainment business this happens all the time; so the next time it happens brush it off your shoulders.  They win if you go off.  I understand they can try to test you; there is a thin line between brushing something off and allowing someone to continually disrespect you.  Choose your battles wisely because some people are seeking your energy and they get it if you snap.  Occasionally you may have to get rid of people in “real life” not just “social media.”
