I like the phrase "the best is yet to come" because it gives me hope that things will get better.
Whoever trying to take you down is already below you.
It is good for them to remember that they are value as a person. The bully might want them to think that they don’t matter, that they deserve to be treated badly. But the bully is not their judge. God is, and he looks for the good in each and every one of us. It is the bully who becomes less worthwhile by resorting to such conduct.
Forget the people who talk behind your back because, they're behind you for a reason!
