Thank Them for Making you Strong

I read a lot of quotes. Some help with life, others not so much. A friend sent me this one today and it really got my attention. Maybe you have heard it before. Either way, I wanted to share. ...There will always be people in your life who treat you wrong. Be sure to thank them for making you strong. ~ Zig Ziglar So true. Others will not think like you do. And they will often do and say things to upset you. That is just life. Tolerating these many issues, in my opinion, makes you a stronger person. Attitude is everything in life. Let things slide off and often no reaction is needed. All those, and many more, cliches help me through life. Have any cliches or quotes to add that helps you deal in life?

I like "it is okay to fall down and lose your spark as long as you rise as the whole damn fire".

@CarolDM - He was full of them. "Buy the ticket, take the ride" is another favorite.

That's a nice one. I will keep that one in mind. I was watching a movie and the hero said about a bad guy that we always have a choice. We can choose to do the right thing.

@CarolDM Yes, we all have certain people that help us to be strong. Remember how pearls are made?

@1hopefulman Even when they do not know they are making us strong. Turning their negative into a positive. I know pearls take years to be formed. And they start as an irritant. A great lesson.

So true, isn't it? I read a lot of quotes particularly from FB shares . . . can't think of a specific one - but when it's a real good one, I think and feel YES

It's a good quotation and true. You can't let people upset you, otherwise you'd be a nervous wreck.

For now on I will be grateful because some of my colleague sometimes they don't talk to me when I talk to them they will talk if they want to and I ended ask myself some silly questions like did I do something bad to them, why they behave like this but I didn't even get the answer to that

This is the best policy in life and further more this good deeds will soften the heart and having great satisfaction, conscientiousness and the personal prejudice influence his/her decisions
