Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable; if anything is excellent or praiseworthy; think about such things. (Philippians 4:8)

There were many situations when we allowed the provocations of other people to take hold of our behaviour and conduct.

Never allow the provocation of people to get at you.  Do not allow their anger to get you angry. Many a times we tend to allow people to reduce us to their levels whenever we are compelled either through their actions, words or even gestures hence behaving like them. When you allow their actions to cause you to be angry, then there will no longer be any difference between you and them.

You must always consciously guard your brand! Never allow anyone’s negative emotions to get you to the same level.

When you are hurt by the deeds or anger of others, show them smile and love. And when they frown at you, show more affection to them. That way, you will always be above them and never get reduced to their pettiness and mediocrity.

Consciously guard your brand!
