Madhouse Rule

Fashion and beauty writer, Sabrina Alexis introduced me to the concept of the Mad House Rule. Imagine, while walking down the street, you see a sign on a building that says “Madhouse” and for some reason you hear a man shouting at you from one of the windows saying: “HEY!! You’re crazy! You’re stupid! You look funny!” Do you really believe him? Do you take it personally? Do you let it bother you? Of course not. Well, you should have the same attitude towards difficult people, especially with strangers or people that you hardly know. Why let someone – who clearly demonstrates by their disturbing behavior that they have personal problems -affect your attitude? You don’t. You’re walking free. They’re locked up. Don’t allow them in your head.
