Make peace with turmoil. Be the initiator of peace. Do not embrace turmoil. Do not hold it to you. Do not give it so much regard. You do not have to talk to turmoil and set the record straight. Turmoil has no right to exist. It knows that. Would you give turmoil so much power that you put it before Me?
Whatever turmoil exists in a personal situation, it involves people. The people are not your enemy. Turmoil is. Do not make so much of turmoil that you let it regulate your stance in life. You do not need to soak up turmoil. You do not have to adopt it. It needs you in order to flourish, but you don't need it. You do not have to be so available. Turmoil does not belong in your heart. It is a leech. It saps your energy. It leaves you defeated.
It makes much more sense to turn to Me than to turn to turmoil. No more bowing down to turmoil and letting it take you over.
Someone sees you as less than you are. Someone does not regard you highly or treat you right. Must that become your problem? Must you make it your own? Must you battle someone else's frailty? Must you undo their arrogance? Must you fight another with your mind and turn your thoughts over to someone else's direction?
Decide your own thoughts and where you put your attention. You cannot joust with everyone. Put your money on Me.
You cannot even every score. It may not be fair. Nor is it fair to yourself to make someone else's estimation of you the determiner of the direction your thoughts will go in. You are not an orchestra, and no one else is meant to direct you. Because someone snaps his fingers does not mean you have to give your attention to him or nod to his faulty perception. You do not have to set anyone else straight. What makes you think you're going to change anyone's perception anyway? Because someone is misguided does not mean that you are to guide them, any more than they are to guide you.
You are not responsible for someone else's poor behavior.
Save your energy. Prioritize. Get out of the dark night and make hay while the sun shines. Life affords you more than battles to fight.
Someone stepped on your toes. What is done is done. Whoever stepped on your toes is not the master of you. Cut him loose, if you must. Others will learn their own lessons in life. You do not have to be their teacher. Life will set them straight. You are not in the business of teaching others their lessons.
One of your lessons may be to step back and get off the stage. To whom do you need to spar with? If someone couldn't hear your heartbeat before, what makes you think they are going to hear you now? Those who do not want to see will not see. Those who do not want to hear will not hear. Save your breath. There is no argument to win really. As true and as right as you are, consider that it's valor to walk away.
I honor you. Can that be enough? Cannot My regard and love for you atone others for their infringement upon you? What is changed, beloveds, before or after? You let off steam, that's all. Is it worth it to get embroiled in others' shortsidedness? I did not raise you to be a pugilist.
