Some people are just determined to get under other people’s skin! Whether it be through lying, cheating, insults, or repeated rude behavior, some people will stop at nothing to keep your attention and ruin your day. Smart women know that as much as they may want to sit around plotting revenge or holding a grudge, it’s an unnecessary trouble. Karma will take care of everything. All they have to do is be patient.
Still, being patient while upset can be difficult! Here are eight reasons smart women wait for karma when someone is trying to bother them:
- They value their own peace
Peace is too valuable to waste on petty arguments or stubborn people. When others use bad behavior to try to get a rise out of them, smart women take a step back, and make a boundary. What goes around will come around. There’s no use in ruining their own day over someone not worth thinking about, and besides…
2. They aren’t concerned with things outside their control.
The only thing a person can control are their own actions and responses. If others make decisions that affect them negatively, smart women do what they can to change the outcome, but don’t spend time fighting lost causes, simply because…
3. They’ve got better things to do!
Let’s be honest, there are a million more productive things a person could do, besides hold a grudge! By spending time investing in themselves, rather than putting their energy towards attacking another, smart women gain a leg-up in their situation. This can often result in the aggrieving party becoming annoyed, anyway, simply because…
4. Being unbothered is the greatest agitator.
By choosing to turn a blind eye to other’s irritations and focus on themselves, smart women often end up flipping the situation on its head! When someone is that determined to be a nuisance, a lack of reaction will either make them look silly, or better yet, encourage them to reveal their true colors to others, by prattling on about someone who is not interested in them. Either way, the instigator is punished by non-action, and the instigated can move on, knowing that…
5. They don’t stoop to other’s levels.
Don’t sully yourself by attacking others, even if they’re trying to make you. You are strong. You are graceful. More than either, you can be confident, in knowing that you have had a moral victory, by doing nothing at all. Karma always has the last laugh. With luck, you’ll be laughing along with it!
