Choose to see the good still

Even when people make up stories where you are the bad..

When you are the type of person to not tell people what you have been doing, sometimes people will make up stories about you. It’s not always a story that we agree with. In these fabrications, we are sometimes labeled with a character who is up to no good.

When people do this, it is wise to simply give back a smile. :)

Leave them confused. Break the loop of hatred. Smile with your eyes.

Be the lens that sees the good. Because unlike how the world works, intentions do matter. Double check on the intention. This remains a solid guide. No matter the outcome.

And as long as you mean well, then people can’t take away that joy you are having. In fact, that is how you share joy.

“One of the risks of being quiet is that other people can fill your silence with their own interpretation.. When others can’t read us, they write their own story — not always one we choose or that’s true to who we are.”

— Sophia Dembling, The Introvert’s Way

There have been people who have labeled me wrongly. I don’t bother correcting them. I’ve been misunderstood so many times and I don’t really care. I mean well. You chose to see it the other way.

Seeing the good in others is to find goodness within ourselves.
And vice versa.

Why do bad things happen to good people?
We’ll never know. But good people will always respond like how good people do.

Both the good and bad occur at the same time — and you’ll always find that which you try to seek.

So when taking a trip down memory lane, choose to see the good in all the experiences you have had with people in your life.

Remember that time when..? I had a real good time then. Thank you for that! :)
