What's the Deal, God?

I watched an interview with Michigan's current governor and she mentioned one of her go-to sayings: "To deal with a bully, you take their weapon and make it your shield."
She gave an example (which I don't recall at the moment), but her saying made me pause. As with most things, I start to analyze whether it is good and reasonable, or just catchy.
I'm going to put this to you. Will you share a suggestion on what might be a bully's weapon that you could turn around and use to protect yourself?
My first thought is to consider what bullies use against people. I'm thinking, maybe power or control. What might be a practical example where you could take away a bully's power/control and, perhaps, make it your shield?
I look forward to hearing your ideas! Please post them on my blog (janetcassidy.com) or on my Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/reflectionsinfaith/)
Thanks!
