BEAT THE BULLY BLUES

Beat the Bullies At Their Own Game . . .

I love rainy Sundays in Vancouver. Okay, so I’m one of the few who do, probably because I was born and raised in Vancouver, which means I have rainwater for blood—to paraphrase Ripley in the “Aliens” movie. And I’m as tough as she is, too; as tough as I need to be in times of trouble. Being tough is about opening your heart wide enough to do what you need to get done.

And how are you? Have you been moving toward your dream? Forget what anyone says, follow your heart. And don’t let anyone stand in your way—including bullies.

Recently there have been news reports of young adults committing suicide because of bullies. Tell them to bug off, pesky flies that they are. There are tons of bullies out there, those individuals who belittle others to make themselves feel better. Very possibility you will encounter them all through your life. I know I’ve witnessed them, like your boss who belittles your skills; or the co-worker who starts a rumour about you; or someone who posts one of life’s most embarrassing moments on YouTube.

There is nothing wrong with YOU; there is something wrong with the bully! Step over them on your way to your future success. They are merely a pebble on your life’s pathway.

Author, motivational speaker, and cyclist Brock Tully speaks to teachers and school assemblies across Canada and the U.S. about bullying. Brock said:

"I believe we bully because we are not happy with ourselves. We've become disconnected from our beautiful and special heart and, thus, are disconnected from others. When we're not happy, we pick on, bully, and abuse others who most show the qualities that we have lost touch with. Therefore, we often bully sensitive, caring, artistic, creative, and unique people. Or else, especially with abuse, we are abusive to those who are closest to us, such as our children and/or our spouse.. Most importantly, it is important to know that if you're bullied or abused it is NOT ABOUT YOU.  It is the bully who has lost touch with their heart and who has become sick!" [Website: www.brocktully.com]

As a kid I remember seeing this cartoon advertisement about a muscular bully who continually picks on a skinny little guy. Well, the skinny guy ate his Wheaties or pumped iron to build his muscles, or whatever the ad was selling, and he got stronger than the bully. He overcame adversity/hard times through discipline and perseverance. Like the “nerdy” kid in school who grows up to become Bill Gates, President of Microsoft. Wow!

Moral of the story: You will overcome this, so stay alive long enough to grow stronger and find your way to personal success, whatever that looks like to you. And speak up! Tell someone about the bully. You do not have to endure this in silence. If someone uploads a video of you on YouTube that you want removed, go to the police, get it removed. You will overcome this.

We love you and want you to know that we need you. This planet needs your loving heart and creative potential. You are not alone!

Live to Live®
