Читать книгу This Incredible Creation Called Woman - David Medley - Страница 11

What do you do when your reputation is tarnished? That's a hard question. I can only offer an opinion on this matter.

For one, I think it's important to own up to the situation (if true). Don't try to lie or cover the truth because it only makes you look more deceptive. If you were jumping from bed to bed in the past, don't try to pretend as if you've always been a saint. I think the more a woman denies something that is obviously true, the more it persists and grows. Own up to it and confront it, even if you only do so with your tightest circle of friends. You can also use a negative as a springboard toward something positive. For instance, many motivational speakers have questionable pasts, but they use the story to help others.

Start rebuilding your reputation immediately by living your life in a healthy, positive, wise, respectable, and balanced manner. Consult a trusted therapist for advice. Read books to gain knowledge and take time out with yourself to explore who you really are as a person or who you want to be. It sounds a bit trite and corny, but it's true. You can turn around a bad reputation by simply loving yourself and displaying that love to the world through your actions.
