CRITICS AND CONFIDANTS

There are two kinds of people in your life. 
The first group are people who truly loves you and help you. 
The second group are people who doesn’t like you. 


The first group is your confidant. The second group is your critics. 


You become unhappy in life when you focus to please critics and neglect your confidants. 
The key is this, focus on the first group and invest all you got in them. 
The second group? 
Ignore. Avoid.
That’s the only best way to overcome them. Leave them to the hands of God. 

Stay away from mindless, pointless quarreling over genealogies and fine print in the law code. That gets you nowhere. Warn a quarrelsome person once or twice, but then be done with him. It's obvious that such a person is out of line, rebellious against God. By persisting in divisiveness he cuts himself off.

Don’t hate them nor even criticize them for soon you will be like them. You can still love them- but from a distance. Your best desire for them is not calamity but enlightenment. 


By the way, here’s a radical truth. You can benefit from both to thrive in life. 
You need confidants to discover your strength. 
You need critics to prove your strength. 
But in any case, both are stepping stones and not hindrances to your journey. 
The bottom line is this - 


It is not how people treat you that defines who you are in life.
It is how you carry yourself with love, kindness, joy and victory regardless of how people treats you.
