Diva Living Today

Have you ever worked hard on a project just to find out your work was not appreciated, not even acknowledged, simply because it was done by you?  Perhaps the credit for your work was intentionally given to someone else.  Sometimes people have a hard time accepting your contribution due to their personal problems.  I learned a long time ago, not to take on or take ownership for anyone’s racism, hatred, jealousy or any combination of the above.  We can only be responsible for ourselves.  I can only hope that these people get the help that they need to work through their psychological difficulties.

If you know you’ve done an excellent job and people choose to act like you're invisible, just know, that’s their personal problem, not yours.  Your excellence will shine through regardless.  You must know who you are and what you bring to the table.  Disacknowledging your presence, will not make you disappear and it won’t change the high standards that you set for yourself.  Your work cannot be devalued, no matter how hard they may try.

Understand that unless you give someone your power, they don’t have it.  Hold your head up Diva and stay strong.  Somethings are more temporary than you think.  In the meantime – stand your ground and stay positive.  You cannot control other people’s behavior, but you can certainly control your own.
