THE PULL-DOWN SYDROME
Have you ever imagined how someone would wake up one morning and it is the thought of bringing others down? What do they stand to gain? The truth is that any group that gathers to pull an individual down does not last, because it was evil that brought them together, once their evil plan is achieved, the tendency remains with them, and they end up fighting themselves. Thinking of bringing others down could be:
- A sign of idleness
- A sign of unhappiness
- A sign of insecurity
- A sign of low self-esteem
- A sign of envy and jealous
Happy people don’t pull others down because they already feel good about themselves. Hardworking and busy people don’t have time to pull others down. People with secured mindset do not pull others down. People who know their worth, do not plan against others, because they know they too can succeed. They don’t see the need to even imagine it, talk more of doing it.
I think people who pull others down are mentally sick. Jealousy is a disease that kills the mind and over time, it consumes the individual. Ironically, the person feels happy outside, but never contended inside.
Happy people don’t compare themselves with others, their only concern is defeating themselves of negative thoughts and toxic people around them and they surround themselves with people with positive mindset that would lift them up.
So, what do you do with such people and their attitudes? Now listen, anything that is possible of bringing you down is like a BALL. The toxic individuals throw the BALL at you, but you have three choices to make with the ball.
- CATCH the BALL – when this happens, you let it to affect you and make you feel bad about yourself and about everything, you get sad or cry and even lose confidence in yourself.
- CATCH and THROWBACK the BALL – in this case, you allow it to consume you so that you RETALIATE and hurt back the person in same coin or even worst.
- LET IT GO – in this situation, you allow it to fall to the ground, realizing that the person can do or say whatever they want to, but it only affects you if you let it affect you. At this point, you must remind yourself that you can’t change other people’s ACTION, but you can change your REACTION.
To you that has the pull them down syndrome, one thing is certain in life, if someone ever helped you to get to where you are today and you pay them back with evil, because of what you stand to gain, just one sentence for you, “KARMA IS MERCILESS!” You would be paid in the same coin, because in life, you reap what you sow.
Be careful in life because nothing lasts for long; someone else’s enemy might be your helper. Be careful how you fight battles that are not yours.
Remember, “You don’t get a trophy for pulling others down.”
