Sophie Scholl, The White Rose, and standing for your beliefs [E185]

Today we answer a question from the audience, Sophie Scholl and the Order of the White Rose, and how us normal people can respond in the face of insult and criticism.We discuss two heroes of World War II: Sophie Scholl and Maximilian Kolbe learning how to respond in line with your ideals in the face of wickedness, criticism and death.You will face opposition by living a disciplined life by walking the road less travelled.            The Question is what will you do about it and how will you RESPOND to opposition and insults and criticism.  Is there validity? Is it someone who loves and cares and is genuinely seeking to understand?Is it someone who is ridiculing you and looking to destroy the good you are doing? Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him yourself. Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes.             Are you being criticized for wrong doing? Or right doing?             If people are attacking you and insulting you because you new life style is hurting others or turning you into a selfish jerk . . . well then maybe it is justified and you need to re-evaluate wether it is working.             If you are being criticized because you are doing good, being kinder, more generous, living healthier, telling the truth, not participating in the toxic and or illegal behavior of your old friend group…. Then rejoice—because it means you are on the right track.             (This is where you need to be brutally honest with yourself and open you ears to mentor around you who can speak into your life with brutal honesty)Return Evil with Good.Bless those who curse, be patient with those who take advantage, respond gently when evil things are said about us. When slandered, we answer with kind words. White Rose and Sophie Scholl:https://www.nationalww2museum.org/https://whiteroseproject.org/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophie_Scholl Maximilian Kolbehttp://hamgallery.com/Tribute/SP3RN/https://www.biographyonline.net/spiritual/maximilian-kolbe.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximilian_Kolbe  Until next time… Be a purpose seeker, truth lover, and own your future.To take more steps to live a focus life to achieve your dreams and fulfill your destiny–get my book Anchored the Discipline to Stop Drifting.  https://amzn.to/2Vwb22nThank you for listening, and as always you can find me at:WhatsApp: +1-202-922-0220LucasSkrobot.comTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lucasskrobotLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucasskrobotInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lucasskrobot ★ Support this podcast ★
