“It’s always the people who know the least about you, who want to judge you the most.”

Whenever you are feeling judged by other people you have to remember that quote because it is SO TRUE! You can’t allow yourself to spend time worrying what other people think of you or how other people are judging you. You just can’t. Because they don’t know everything about you. Only God does. So focus on what He thinks and forget about everyone else’s opinions but His. You know who you are and He knows who you are and that is all that matters.

There is always going to be someone out there who might say mean things about you, or who spreads a rumor about you, or who makes fun of you, or who is jealous of you, or who tries to make you feel bad about yourself, or who posts mean things on social media trying to tear you down. These people are not your friends and they are not the people whose opinion matters, so don’t let it!

Of course it gets to you when someone does these things. Of course it hurts. No one enjoys being on the receiving end of a mean person. But you ultimately can’t stop them from being mean, but what you can do is take solace in the fact that you would never stoop to their level because you are better than that. And ultimately you should feel sorry for them because you only have to live with their meanness for a short time but they have to live with their own meanness forever! You can walk away but they are stuck in their own mean skin and that is the best punishment for them of all.

People who wrongfully judge you and spread rumors are never happy people themselves. Happy people don’t look for opportunities to hurt others. Happy people are far too busy doing good in the world to spend any time tearing others down.

At the end of the day the people who really know you and love you will believe in you.
