Megan, Great video reminds me of Nopoleon Hill commenting on the "Golden Rule" in his book The Law Of Success. He takes the Golden Rule a step beyond by stating not only treating others as we would have them treat us, but also thinking of others as we would have them think of us. Since thoughts are things, makes incredible sense. Take care, bless you and your family.
Hi again Megan- So youre saying YOU are in your FORTIES? Just nipping down to the travel agents- I,m on my way to Aussie. I would have guessed around 28 Sweet.xx
This video is so true! people are always trying to make you view the world as they see it regardless of how it really is which means sadly, that sometimes you miss out on spending time with some really lovely people! I think your videos are wonderful Megan and if anything, they help us realise just how nice, friendly and 'normal' some people are (ie. celebrities- that we otherwise would not get to 'meet' and thus only have other peoples' opinions of ) Love your work and you! Love lotsly C xxxxx
I find that people tend to live down to my expectations of them, so I try to make sure I have positive expectations. I don't tend to 'argue' or 'defend' though - I just don't get involved! I might just say "Oh, I've always found that person lovely" and change the subject! But sometimes I have been influenced by other people and I get disappointed in myself that I listened if they were wrong! It's an interesting dance we dance... btw love the partnership of you 2, you're cute! xx
I love it when I'm wrong about people, for good or bad... It's like prooving that you can't know anyone by basic impressions, and it really takes time and trust to know people.
And that's what I like about people... there is no short cut to knowing anyone...
especialy 2nd hand gossip.
Always so reffreshing to be wrong... I love it...;-)
you're right - your work is positive, it's fun - it's done in good taste... unfortunately, people as well as too often the media choose a negative slant, informing us of so-called wrongdoings of stars and high profile people. You're now 'copping it' too, as a result of your work... Good on you for standing up for yourself in a positive and non-harmful way. I'm often surprised by the meanness that goes around, and purposely disassociate myself from it...Peace, luv your scarf!
I totally agree. Unfortunately people dont listen. Young people tend to live by their what their friends say and also treat their friends better than their own family. At the end of the day your friends are not always their for but your family is.
So get your priorities right. Im 20 and a non-drinker, non-smoker. I have people trying to pressure me into these habits but I think that I would rather be strong and different than to be another black sheep. Dictate your own life!
TRUE!!!!! Family is the most important. My priorities are in order-i just truly didn't see that one coming-she has a way of being very lovely and chummy.......hmmmm......i didn't see it coming xxxxxxx
This pretty much goes for a lot of things in life not just people. Even buying things like cars, computers etc dont purely rely on what people tell you or what you read/hear. Sure you can take advice from people who you know you can trust but in the end its you who has to make the decision and live with that decision so find out for yourself because in the end your the only one who truely knows yourself
the exact same thing has happened to me, i know exactly what you mean, im 14 and as a teenager i experience it all the time, and it really dus screw things up, its hard to believe that this is carrying on for another 25 years... :(
LOL!!!!!! Try to hang out with people that are really true friends. Here i say this and i thought this girl WAS nice......anyway-there will be something good come out of it somwhere xxxxxxxxxx
I haven't done anything either except fro my celebrity videos and photos......hmmmmmm. You wouldn't think she was knocking on the door of 50,would you???
Geez! I know I'm only 15 and all lol, but I've occasionally gone through that, I had some family issues with that sort of thing aswell and trust me, that wasnt pretty.
A couple of my friends have been doing this sort of thing within their 'group' for a couple of years, and it really screws up friendsships and bonds between people in the end, because everyone comes to find out about all of the bullshit.
You dont look over 40 lol, you look like 30 or somthing.
I dont think this happen's as much with men as it does with woman because alot of men see bad roumor's as an acheavement.
At school my friend's are quite nice to me but i also hang out with some of the people who are conciterd to be "Nerds" because they dont usualy make up lias about other people.
Well, just from the 1st min of your video. That seems to by typical life of women (most women) these days. But in saying that I have met lots of guys that do the same thing also. If you ever find a friend that is quick to talk about somebody in a negative way, there is a very high chance they will talk to somebody else about you in the same manner.
Gwyneth Paltrow knicknamed these types of people 'frenemies' .. just goes to show that you should only trust your own instincts with respect to others and leave gossip for the schoolyard!
I don't know-she was very believable and i thought quite "spiritual"...i really believed these people had done unspeakable things. I made a mistake xxxxxx
I've taught my kids from day one, that if they have (so-call) Friends who are alwaysTALKING about other People Good Chances are they are talking about you as well. Good Friends don't have to like what you Do, but are Supportive in What You Do!
But I now have learnt to reflect first - What space is the person in Anger hurt etc or what type of person they are sometime they need to talk and be the centre of attention - if they don't know anything they make it up. Just like the gossip magazines. Your friend probably is so convinced about the stories she told that she has no idea of what the truth is anymore.
Smile and congratulate yourself on learning and growing
Leona-you are dead set right-she works herself up so much she REALLY does believe them-i have seen it happen over the years and a lot of things are just falling into place as i unravel it all!!!!!! xxxxxxx
I have had this happen to me in my 40's. I feel sad for people who have to be mean to make themselves feel better. I guess we can't always know who to trust. You're right about making up our own minds about people and not trusting every rumour. I love all your videos, just keep doing what you love to do!
Thanks Tracey-you are exactly right. I only put positive things about the stars up and remove any comments that i don't approve...so it's good for everyone xxx
The only problem with people though is your opinion of a person is based on your interaction with that person and mine is based on my interaction. Two completely different perspectives. Your friend may not be wrong, she's just basing her opinion on her relationship with the people around her. Makes you think. What you put out you get back.
Totally get what your saying, but in this case there was no SUBSTANCE to the stories-they were from her own head, not an actual occurrence!!!!!! THAT makes it tricky!!!!! LOL xxxxxxx
I've always jokingly said that I'm never wrong. My reasoning is, I don't open my mouth and state an opinion unless I know 100% that what I'm saying is true.
I experience the same issues within a close circle of my "friends', What makes this worse, Is its also in the work place.
I feel so disheartened and disappointed when I find out Ive been gulable of what they have said, because I get very loyal and trust them when I think they are looking out for my best interests. Ive come to learn the hard way, that usually it isnt so. I to found out, When I relised I was the topic of conversation.
I just think that you are ao happy with your life that people actually envy you and its the envious that will always try to derail your good and happy intentions. Me personally i have never met you but you are simply fantabulous
What you said about them always having at least one person to be having a problem with is so true.Thats one of the main ways I spot one of these character assassins now. Great post, it also reminds me to watch what I say too. Have a great day
Megan, this is an inspirational piece. I have unfortunately been the victim of a similar person over the last year. The stories that were told about me and my partner were outrageous - this person even brought our children into the mix - spreading very nasty false rumours. It has taken around a year for people to realise that she was lying and they now think that she is quite mad trying to destroy the reputations of others. Keep up the good work of inspiring everyone with your videos.
Learn to critically think. People lie, more often then not. Alot of the time its because its easier too. Everyone seems to ware a mask now days... so few people are actually upfront. Pollitical correctness run wild.
Hi Jewelchic. Absolutely have found that many people will appear "straight" but attempt to subvert your opinion on others, particularly to sabotage u in a group. It's a bit like "hackers", but done on people. I'm 45 or so and I consider this is pychopathic behaviour. People are getting a bit sad, imho.
ive done this too but i did talk to the person to get to know them
people kept on saying she lied about everything and i believed them but yeh i did get to know that person and even though she actually would lie about nealy everything i was happy that i made the effort to see what she was really like for myself
You always make me laugh!!! It was funny that the girl actually DID make up stories, but that you were able to see that for yourself and not pre-judge!!!!! What an honest,fabulous comment xxxxxxxx
I said something similar today. I said by not responding to something negative someone says about another, it's your silent agreement. But standing up and saying, No, I don't agree, well then that person knows your stance.
Oh the lessons of this earthly experience, they are ever abundant!
hey im 16 and round that age group where everyones got something to talk bout half the time i just faz in and out and here all the crap the people talk bout behind other peoples backs so i know wot ur saying in this vid i feel the pain jks nah keep doin ur thing by the way the only reason people get judge is the way they look or act
I have an auntie who does the exact same thing. She is so unhappy with herself that she tries to make other people turn on people who she doesn't like by making things up about them. Now there are a couple of points here i would like to make
1. Rise above it (which knowing what i do about you i am sure you are doing)
2. you making videos makes me and many others happy so even if she doesn't like you making videos. For everyones sake don't listen to her.
Yep I'd believe people can behave badly at any age!! I'm sure we've all been influenced by peoples views at one time or another, but I always try to give people the benefit of the doubt and not let others make their views my own. Love these videos....Happy Easter to you too!! xx : )
Hi jewelchic : ) yes you are right to a certain extent however i believe you might also be making a mistake in listening to others and that a true friend would actually say " hang on before you go any further , this person is my friend so keep your comments too yourself " . Now for this person to be saying things about you to friends of your , if she is saying it in confidence what are those people that you think are friends saying or doing ?
NO NO -i didn't KNOW these people at that point. I would ALWAYS defend someone i know. She was talking about acquaintances or people i had not MET at that stage. NOW-i know some of them and have found them to be lovely-THAT is my point. xxxxxxxx
Very Positive :D That's what I love about you :D I'm very like you... Im a little bit TOO positive... I laugh when I get bullied and during my childhood I did get bullied and did get influenced... I even influenced some people which makes me really really guilty haha =[
What a beautiful daugher you have, you look more like sisters than mom and daughter. It is too bad about that person, but you are taking the high road. It is sad that others have to put folks down to make them feel better about themselves. We are always learning and growing and I applaud you for learning this lesson in life. I am glad Zooey? (can't spell) is learing this at a young age. I love your videos!! Keep them coming! You are a breath of fresh air. Love your energy!
Hello over there in beautiful Florida!!!!!! Thanks for your great comment- i am trying to talk about this sort of thing all the time with the kids-thanks xxxxxxx
Don't forget misery loves company...if she's not happy with her life she really doesn't want you to be happy in yours. I think it's great you are discussing this with your daughter, what a wonderful life lesson. To thy own self be true.
Oh Jill-i say that too-to thine own self be true!!! I think that what you said is right-i think she is possibly not happy herself. Who knows????? I have not had a lot to do with her for about a year so i guess it is even more strange that i am in her radar!!!!!! I talk to the kids about this stuff all the time-it's so important. Why can't people simply just be kind to each other??? xxxxxxxxx
unfortunately as humans get older, they can be more manipulative and cunning if they want to try and sway your opinion on others. This video is very relevant. It was obviously a learning experience for you. We never stop learning. Truth. We must make our own minds about certain individuals. I work in a 'professional' line of work and have been subject to slander and false perceptions due to petty personality differences with certain individuals. Karma wins in the end xoxo.
This sort of thing happened to me before and it is a big shocker for something like that to happen. Also I got into one of those backstabbing situations where me and a friend would start talking about another then it would pass to that person and it would be a big mess and i learned my lesson to watch what i say. Thanks for the video megan! =D It's life it can happen to any kid,teen and adults. Like myself at 16.
Yes-i know!!! Try to become aware when you get into that place and stop yourself before you make the awful comments. It will make you feel better not to say it xxxxxx
Interesting you said what you said Jewelchic. I really appreciate a persons honesty.
I have never really taken to opinion of others (gossip of any kind) Subconsciously it may affect me, but generally I do give the person(s) in question the benefit of doubt and form my own opinion. This has put me in good stead, thus far, and to that effect I will continue to uphold my strategy.
However, I still have a LOT to learn. Self awareness is NEVER a finished product! Once again, yay for honesty!
i didn't realise i has ever done it either-it was only when i realised what she had done to me that i doubted all her other stories!!!!!! Well,actually,not quite, the people i have MET that she has spoken of i have come to like even prior to that xxx
Use to have that. But then highschool finished. In all honesty, it says a lot about people's lack of maturity to talk about people, more specifically, tell lies about other people for no reason whatsoever.
That's kinda of strange because the same thing happened to me but that person didn't have many friends and he was doing it to drag me away from every one else weird.
No-she has lots of friends-in fact i have not seen much of her in the last year-so not really sure why she has been so weird all of a sudden-or maybe she always was and i never heard before.........
My mother always said "if you can't say something nice then don't say anything at all". It would be great if we could all stick to that and make up our own minds about those we meet.
It's sad when you get sucked into a bitch session - critical people love company to validate their opinions. Makes you feel like a good wash afterwards to cleanse your soul of negativity!
We know you as positive and always looking for the best in people!!
My mother used to say "if you can't say something nice then don't say anything at all". We know you always look for the best in people.
Critical people love to have you join them in their bitch sessions. It always makes me feel "contaminated" after getting sucked in to negative judgements and opinions. You need a good antidote of positivity afterwards to cleanse your soul. xx
Great video...I've lived this sort of thing, and it's very surprising to learn this type of knowledge. You expressed it well!

What you said about them always having at least one person to be having a problem with is so true.Thats one of the main ways I spot one of these character assassins now. Great post, it also reminds me to watch what I say too. Have a great day

Megan, this is an inspirational piece. I have unfortunately been the victim of a similar person over the last year. The stories that were told about me and my partner were outrageous - this person even brought our children into the mix - spreading very nasty false rumours. It has taken around a year for people to realise that she was lying and they now think that she is quite mad trying to destroy the reputations of others. Keep up the good work of inspiring everyone with your videos.

Learn to critically think. People lie, more often then not. Alot of the time its because its easier too. Everyone seems to ware a mask now days... so few people are actually upfront. Pollitical correctness run wild.

Hi Jewelchic. Absolutely have found that many people will appear "straight" but attempt to subvert your opinion on others, particularly to sabotage u in a group. It's a bit like "hackers", but done on people. I'm 45 or so and I consider this is pychopathic behaviour. People are getting a bit sad, imho.
Liked your clip on ID theft, bigtime!!!

You always make me laugh!!! It was funny that the girl actually DID make up stories, but that you were able to see that for yourself and not pre-judge!!!!! What an honest,fabulous comment xxxxxxxx

I said something similar today. I said by not responding to something negative someone says about another, it's your silent agreement. But standing up and saying, No, I don't agree, well then that person knows your stance.
Oh the lessons of this earthly experience, they are ever abundant!

I have an auntie who does the exact same thing. She is so unhappy with herself that she tries to make other people turn on people who she doesn't like by making things up about them. Now there are a couple of points here i would like to make
1. Rise above it (which knowing what i do about you i am sure you are doing)
2. you making videos makes me and many others happy so even if she doesn't like you making videos. For everyones sake don't listen to her.
We LOVE you!

Hi jewelchic : ) yes you are right to a certain extent however i believe you might also be making a mistake in listening to others and that a true friend would actually say " hang on before you go any further , this person is my friend so keep your comments too yourself " . Now for this person to be saying things about you to friends of your , if she is saying it in confidence what are those people that you think are friends saying or doing ?
juust keep doing what u do best and be happy : )

Hello from Florida :)
What a beautiful daugher you have, you look more like sisters than mom and daughter. It is too bad about that person, but you are taking the high road. It is sad that others have to put folks down to make them feel better about themselves. We are always learning and growing and I applaud you for learning this lesson in life. I am glad Zooey? (can't spell) is learing this at a young age. I love your videos!! Keep them coming! You are a breath of fresh air. Love your energy!

Don't forget misery loves company...if she's not happy with her life she really doesn't want you to be happy in yours. I think it's great you are discussing this with your daughter, what a wonderful life lesson. To thy own self be true.
Have a happy, healthy day!

Oh Jill-i say that too-to thine own self be true!!! I think that what you said is right-i think she is possibly not happy herself. Who knows????? I have not had a lot to do with her for about a year so i guess it is even more strange that i am in her radar!!!!!! I talk to the kids about this stuff all the time-it's so important. Why can't people simply just be kind to each other??? xxxxxxxxx
jewelchic 2 years ago
Hi Megan,
unfortunately as humans get older, they can be more manipulative and cunning if they want to try and sway your opinion on others. This video is very relevant. It was obviously a learning experience for you. We never stop learning. Truth. We must make our own minds about certain individuals. I work in a 'professional' line of work and have been subject to slander and false perceptions due to petty personality differences with certain individuals. Karma wins in the end xoxo.

This sort of thing happened to me before and it is a big shocker for something like that to happen. Also I got into one of those backstabbing situations where me and a friend would start talking about another then it would pass to that person and it would be a big mess and i learned my lesson to watch what i say. Thanks for the video megan! =D It's life it can happen to any kid,teen and adults. Like myself at 16.
charmed1115 2 years ago
Yes-i know!!! Try to become aware when you get into that place and stop yourself before you make the awful comments. It will make you feel better not to say it xxxxxx
jewelchic 2 years ago
Interesting you said what you said Jewelchic. I really appreciate a persons honesty.
I have never really taken to opinion of others (gossip of any kind) Subconsciously it may affect me, but generally I do give the person(s) in question the benefit of doubt and form my own opinion. This has put me in good stead, thus far, and to that effect I will continue to uphold my strategy.
However, I still have a LOT to learn. Self awareness is NEVER a finished product! Once again, yay for honesty!

i didn't realise i has ever done it either-it was only when i realised what she had done to me that i doubted all her other stories!!!!!! Well,actually,not quite, the people i have MET that she has spoken of i have come to like even prior to that xxx

Use to have that. But then highschool finished. In all honesty, it says a lot about people's lack of maturity to talk about people, more specifically, tell lies about other people for no reason whatsoever.

I kind of have the same situation, except this girl.
My group that i hang out with, we've tried being her friend but she's just been backstabbing and all and talking about us 24/7 during class.
For absolute no reason, she makes up rumours.
we've let her be herself and all, yet that's just her.
She tried being "everyones" friend but when someone hates this person she goes along and bitches then she goes up to the "victim"
and starts bitching about the other person.

My mother always said "if you can't say something nice then don't say anything at all". It would be great if we could all stick to that and make up our own minds about those we meet.
It's sad when you get sucked into a bitch session - critical people love company to validate their opinions. Makes you feel like a good wash afterwards to cleanse your soul of negativity!
We know you as positive and always looking for the best in people!!

My mother used to say "if you can't say something nice then don't say anything at all". We know you always look for the best in people.
Critical people love to have you join them in their bitch sessions. It always makes me feel "contaminated" after getting sucked in to negative judgements and opinions. You need a good antidote of positivity afterwards to cleanse your soul. xx
