A Successful Living Article

FEATURE ARTICLE:
The Special Silent Treatment

This article is dedicated to a special person who drops by and reads articles from the site occasionally. I will not be mentioning any names, but you know who you are.  ; ) 

I've entitled this article "The Special Silent Treatment" due to the fact that there are certain individuals in our lives that seem to live an existence like cock roaches. Do you know what I mean?

You see, these type of people have no real purpose in your life. They only seem to bring a disgusting funk that ripples an emotional tidal wave of constant unnecessary disturbance. To these people, it seems the only thing that matters is the outer shell of life. There's real no substance. Kinda like that cock roach. What's the real reason for a cock roach?

I digress. . .

Well, for the cock roach you can call an exterminator and that works for a while. But for the outer shell people who seem to search for certain ways to turn those you love against you and for those who live in a beautiful transparent ugliness - there is an entirely different way to deal with them.

The Special Silent Treatment

This is reserved for the very special person who has no real meaning in life, so they try and find ways to make yours difficult and miserable (unsuccessfully). With the special silent treatment you have to cut off all ties of acknowledgement. This person serves no real meaning to your life, so you absolutely must cease to see, hear or sense in any way that she (or he) exist.

If you do acknowledge her (or him), you've countered your progress for achieving a successful life.

This technique may seem a little harsh, but, when you strive for drastic standards for you and your family, business or life, you MUST take drastic measures to protect yourself from any cancer that may infest and infect it's growth.

I will go out on a limb here and say - if this kind of person does happen to realize that she (or he) doesn't have to elevate herself by attempting to tear you down, you can always practice some mercy and offer forgiveness. But I rarely see this happen with the outer shell-type person.

Usually, these type of people are so defensive, the last thing they would ever do is to admit a mistake. If you were to confront a person like this about the stories and fabricated information she is spreading, the typical results would be the same as if you walked into a dark room full of cock roaches and flipped on the lights. They all just scurry to try and find the darkest corner to go hide in.

See my point?
Your time is better spent by just ignoring the behavior of these people.

However, in some extreme cases, there may need to be legal counsel sought. This would be in the cases of character defamation and/or lies that are being told that would hurt your professional well-being. But those are really extreme cases.

In short, ignore the stupid people. They're not worth your time. And they're not worth mine. In fact, this article is the last time you'll hear me make mention of them.

Just leave them in the past and have a blessed week!

Keep looking and living forward.
