have you ever stopped to wonder what
0:01
people say about you when you're not
0:03
around it's a question that can make
0:05
anyone uncomfortable but here's the real
0:07
twist it says more about them than it
0:10
does about you think about it when
0:12
someone speaks negatively about you
0:14
behind your back what are they really
0:16
revealing in most cases they're
0:18
projecting their own insecurities they
0:20
might criticize your confidence because
0:22
they lack it they might downplay your
0:24
success because they're jealous of it
0:26
here's the uncomfortable truth people
0:28
who gossip the most are are often the
0:30
ones who are the most unhappy it's
0:32
easier for them to point fingers at
0:34
someone else than to reflect on their
0:35
own life but here's where it gets
0:37
interesting what people say about you
0:39
when you're not around is a mirror
0:42
either it reflects your impact or their
0:44
insecurity if they talk about how kind
0:46
you are it shows you left a positive
0:49
mark But if they criticize it means they
0:51
felt threatened by something they saw in
0:53
you but don't let their words Define you
0:56
think about this how often have you
0:58
judged someone based on on what someone
1:00
else told you only to realize later it
1:03
wasn't true here's the takeaway people
1:05
will always have opinions some will be
1:07
kind others will be harsh but none of
1:09
them can truly Define your worth unless
1:11
you let them now let's flip the script
1:14
what do you say about others when
1:15
they're not around are you lifting them
1:18
up or tearing them down because how you
1:20
speak about others reveals your
1:21
character more than theirs one of the
1:23
hardest lessons in life is realizing
1:25
that not everyone will like you and
1:27
that's okay you weren't meant to be like
1:29
like by everyone you were meant to be
1:31
authentic and authenticity will attract
1:33
the right people while pushing the wrong
1:35
ones away the next time you hear someone
1:37
gossiping about you don't let it shake
1:39
you instead ask yourself did I stay true
1:42
to myself did I act with kindness and
1:44
integrity if the answer is yes then
1:46
their words don't matter the strongest
1:48
people are those who keep their peace
1:50
even when others are trying to shake it
1:52
they don't stoop to the level of Gossip
1:54
or pettiness instead they focus on their
1:57
goals their growth and the people who
1:59
genuinely support them here's a
2:01
challenge for you focus on what you say
2:03
when others aren't around if you want to
2:06
be remembered as someone who inspires
2:08
encourages and uplifts let your words
2:11
reflect that the next time someone says
2:13
something hurtful about you remember
2:15
this it's not your job to control what
2:18
they say it's your job to control how
2:21
you respond so what will people remember
2:23
about you the choice is yours
