When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you. ~ African Proverb ~
Loving yourself is this best defense. When people are hateful they will target your weaknesses. Protect your weaknesses by accepting them as part of you. As a very necessary part of you. Begin by taking away the hurt and pain of your weakness, then no one can attack them. No one can attack you. When you practice mindfulness then you understand that your weak parts give you the reason to explore and grow. You also, begin to understand that others weaknesses are important and attacking them only hurts their growth. You must forgive their weaknesses. The journey in life is to share and cultivate your strengths together and to make your weaknesses irrelevant. When you embrace weaknesses they become less controlling and you become more powerful.
