The way in which you become known or people define you is known as your personal brand.
Tomorrow is a blank canvas, paint your future today.
No doubt you have on occasion experienced a frustrating round of communication with someone. Although you attempted to keep a cool head and remain professional, the other party chose to toss a degrading name at you. On these (hopefully) rare occasions, the best strategy for handling this type of event is to connect with a trusted friend. Whether or not you reveal the entire story does not matter. What is most important is to hear the support and encouraging words on the other end.
Dependent upon whose words of wisdom you chose to receive, the verbiage may be practical or spiritual. Either type of encouragement works as long as you have the fortitude to continue on your path. Those spiritually oriented will tell you there is a bigger plan in the works. The poor experience works itself out, and that better times will come.
