I am repeating this more directly: The things you say about others, say a lot about you!<br>I can tell a lot about a person by what they choose to see in others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Character assassination is a pervasive and destructive phenomenon that is found everywhere<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You find it in families, places of worship, organizations or workplaces, etc.<br><em>Character assassination is the deliberate, malicious, unjustified and sustained effort to damage the reputation or credibility of an individual or group<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Character assassination is the slandering of a person or group usually to destroy public confidence in that person or group.<br>\u201cCharacter Assassination\u201d is the act of lowering one\u2019s character in a bid to ruin the character of others.<br>Some people take maximum delight in ruining others&#8217; reputations. This set of people has what I will like to call <em>\u2018Destructive Tendencies\u2019<\/em>. They oil their ego by pulling other people down. PhD (pull him down).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>False allegations are the most chronic form of mental abuse<\/em>. When people can\u2019t kill your dreams and purpose, they will try to assassinate your character. There are some people whose spirit will always irritate their demons! Once they realize hating isn\u2019t working they start telling and spreading lies about you. People are assassinated once but \u2018Character Assassination\u2019 kills daily! Character assassination is a form of emotional violence against others.<br>Someone once said, <em>\u201cA friend of my enemy is my enemy.\u201d<\/em> One of the things that hinder us from living a fulfilling and inclusive life is bringing past biases and sentiments into present relationships. <em>A friend of your enemy is not necessarily your enemy; it all depends on intentions and contributions<\/em>. God can use your enemy\u2019s friend to bless you!`<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The 7 critical \u2018DON\u2019Ts&#8217; you need to guard yourself against.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Refusing to get trapped in them will help you live an unbiased, productive and fulfilled life. and they are;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>1. Don\u2019t conclude people for reasons others say of them:<\/em> Never draw up conclusions based on what others tell you about someone. It is a lack of social intelligence that makes people conclude others based on what other people say about them. I know you\u2019ve heard about emotional and financial intelligence, but there is something called social intelligence. This is the kind of intelligence that keeps you sane even when others are trying to pollute your mind against someone else until you have thoroughly confirmed the veracity of the claims before you. Judges are trained to have this kind of intelligence to avoid biased judgments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>2. Don\u2019t inherit other people\u2019s enemy<\/em>: It is a total lack of education and enlightenment when you automatically make your friend\u2019s enemies your own. Don\u2019t make people your enemies just because they are not on good terms with your friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>3. Don\u2019t use your children as weapons of war:<\/em><br>God can use your enemies to bless your children Stop using them to fight those you don\u2019t like. Your children will need to discern their enemies for themselves; never use your parental influence to make your children hate others. You may often need to guard them with their choice of friends but never plant the seed of discord in the heart of your children against someone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>4. Don\u2019t gang up with others to hate someone:<\/em> Don\u2019t join the majority to hate someone \u2013 you may realize that the person has no offence. Someone said, \u201cIf you don\u2019t see it with your own eyes, or hear it with your ears. Don\u2019t invent it with your small mind and share it with your big<br>mouth\u201d. Never join the multitude to hate someone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>5. Don\u2019t be used as a weapon in other people\u2019s battles<\/em>: It is not every battle that you must involve yourself in. Refuse to be used as weapons in other people\u2019s battles. When people fight dirty, refuse to take sides. Observe deeply before concluding finally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>6. Don\u2019t hate people just because they don\u2019t behave as you<\/em>: That someone is not your tribe doesn\u2019t make them your enemy. It is a waste of education if the only people you like are those that are like you. The greatest proof of our education is in how we respond to people whose opinions are different from ours. People who think their opinions are superior to others are most prone to overestimating their relevant knowledge and ignoring chances to learn more.<br>The people who don\u2019t think like you are your greatest source of enlightenment. It is normally people that are not like us that help us grow the most. Companies that had maximized growth are those that value diversity and inclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>7. Don\u2019t judge people until you know the whole story:<\/em> Someone once said, \u201cBeware of the half-truth. You may have gotten hold of the wrong half\u201d. Don\u2019t judge other people\u2019s choices without understanding their reasons.<br>If people say something bad about you or judge you as if they know you, don\u2019t easily get affected. Remember this, dogs bark if they don\u2019t know the person. People who are intimidated by you talk about you with hopes that others won\u2019t find you so appealing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Stay away from people who talk bad about others daily; this kind of people carry a negative spirit, and a negative spirit is contagious. The real problem is not that they are unhappy with others, but they are unhappy with themselves.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stop the destructive habit of talking about people behind their back. Talking badly about someone else while they aren\u2019t there to defend themselves says more about you than the person you\u2019re talking about. When you have issues with people, try and discuss them with them. Stop discussing it with others. Someone once said, \u201cDon\u2019t talk about me until you have talked to me\u201d. <em>Stop spreading false information and rumours about others.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rumours are carried by haters, spread by fools and accepted by idiots! Stop creating walls of contention and division, rather help build bridges of understanding among people.<br>You will get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>WISDOM FOR LEADERSHIP<\/em> VERABRIGHT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"491\" height=\"357\" src=\"https:\/\/www.getufm.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/images-66-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8363\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.getufm.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/images-66-1.jpeg 491w, https:\/\/www.getufm.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/images-66-1-480x349.jpeg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 491px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One mistake you should never make in life is to allow yourself to be recruited by someone, to hate another person who hasn&#8217;t wronged you.
