This reminded my of The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz:
1. Be Impeccable with Your Word
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the Word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your Word in the direction of truth and love.
2. Don't Take Anything Personally
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.
3. Don't Make Assumptions
Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness, and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.
4. Always Do Your Best
Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick.
Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.

Thank you. I need all the inspiration I can get lately. I'm in the crosshairs of a couple of local gals that enjoy tearing other people down. I watched it happen to a friend of mine last year and now I'm on their list. It's been hard not internalizing everything... well, I have internalized it. I'm trying to pull myself out of the rain cloud they put over my head. One day at a time
