#keepcollected

A good reminder for us. "Don't give away your power. Keep your strength under control."

When you encounter people who are poisoned inside, don’t let it rub off  on you.  If you sink down to their level and you’re cold and rude back to them, you’ve allowed them to contaminate you.  Rise above that. Be a part of the solution, not the problem.  You overcome evil with good.  If somebody is rude to you, just bless them, smile, and keep moving forward.

A guy was eating a burger in a little country diner when a motorcycle gang came in. These bikers were big and tough and mean. Just to show who was in charge, one of them came to the guy's table, knocked his hamburger onto the floor, picked up his water, and poured it on top of the guy's head.

"Oh, I'm sorry. It was an accident," the biker said sarcastically. He was trying to pick a fight. The guy sat calmly, took out his napkin, wiped off the water, stood up, and walked out of the restaurant. The biker shook his head and said to the waiter, "Not much of a man, is he?" The waiter said, "No, and not much of a driver either. He just ran over twelve choppers with his car."
