Do Not Tolerate Assholes

Sep 16, 2013 by Ben

This TSA sprung from some thoughts I was having recently on forgiveness and prayer, and I’ll get to all that in another post in more detail, but I wanted to call this part out.

I have no recent inspiration or story that prompted this thought, except that it’s been in the back of my mind lately.

Do not tolerate assholes.

Life is way too short.   Get those people out of your life.

Now I’m not talking about your good friend you just pissed you off lately.  I’m talking about the people who are constantly pissing you off.  Those around you that are constantly creating drama and causing negativity all around them.   Let those ones go by the wayside.  Stop calling them.  Stop talking to them.  Stop interacting with them.  Even if they are related to you.  Being related or being family does not give them a pass to act that way.   They can still be related and you don’t need to choose to be around them.

Stand up for yourself and stop tolerating bad behavior from those around.  Choose to be around great people and great friends who improve who you are and the world around you.

The nice thing about this TSA is that its so simple its almost no work to do.  When you started reading this post, did someone pop into your head who is just consistently bad around you?  Do you have someone in your life who makes you not like who you are when you are around them?   Then just stop being around them.  That’s all you have to.  Don’t explain anything to anyone, just stop being around those people.  It’s your choice of who you spend your time with.

Choose wisely
