Be selective about those who represent you. Everyone is neither authorized to speak for nor negotiate for you, nor should they--especially if they've demonstrated, in subtle ways, that don't respect you or your wishes.
Want to know if someone is available or capable? Ask them, not someone you think may know. Going directly to the source, or the source's designated representative, is always best. Waiting on someone to share information, when they don't really want you to have it, can be frustrating. Knowing how to find information for oneself is liberating. One should know the status of everything concerning oneself. It is not a sign of mistrust or paranoia to ask questions. It's when people are less than forthcoming with answers and details that one's own fact finding skills spring into action.
Let truth empower you, no matter how disappointing or challenging it may be. Knowledge is always better than ignorance.
Figuring out what it benefits a person to create strife or distance between you and others is actually quite motivating. An offense or affront is not always necessary for someone to behave maliciously toward you. There are those you don't even see or hear from, on a regular basis, whose aim is that you rise no higher than your current status, and if you do, they will assume the credit.
Having nice, long, revealing conversations with people who have been walking around with a skewed perception of you, thanks to the words of someone who hates, resents, seeks to control, or has placed themselves in some weird competition with you, is eye opening. Truth is a great beginning of new, beneficial personal and working relationships and opportunities---relationships and opportunities that someone has worked awfully hard to block.
Deceived is the individual who believes that their resources or circle of influence crowns them lord over the lives of others--especially those who actually know and love THE Lord. It is God's word that opens doors and keeps them open--in spite of the attempts of others to weld them shut.
