"Do Not Give Them The Power To Control Your Reaction" - Toyin Abraham Reveals Why She Don't Respond To A Lot f Things Online.

Toyin Abraham, a Nollywood actress, has revealed why she doesn't respond to a lot of things she sees on social media.

Silence, according to the actress, can be powerful, wholesome, and perceived as a victory.

Toyin continued, "Many problems are better ignored than engaged."

She persuaded her Instagram followers, on the other hand, to learn to forget and let things go because not everyone merits their attention.

In her words;

“A lot of times, we don’t talk about how powerful and wholesome silence can be and I think that’s because the society has made us believe that having the last word is a kind of winning.

See, most times, I do not respond to a lot of things not because I do not see them, but because I believe they are better ignored than engaged. Honestly, my darlings, it is not everything that screams at us that deserves our responses. Knowing when to ignore a thing is also as important as knowing when to speak up. Don’t give people the power to bait you into an expected reaction. Do not give them the power to control your reaction. That right is yours, protect it.

Be intentional about choosing what it is that you make your business and give your energy to! Learn to ignore, especially when you are most tempted to respond. As Yorùbás would say, “àìní àmójúkúrò, ló ń jẹ́ kí ẹrù u wèrè é pọ̀.”
