Hi, it’s me again.
I was thinking about how life can force you to change even when naysayers state you can’t.
Along the way, you will encounter people out there whose attitude is my way or the highway. They only see conflict created by them as black or white. There are shades of gray. At different times in your life, you may be forced to deal with an ongoing conflict, and the people involved that are steadfast in trying to hold you hostage based on whom they believe you are.
What we have to remember is everybody else isn’t holding all of the cards all of the time. If you continually allow them to manipulate and not shut them down and walk away, you are going to be miserable, and misery does love company.
If you would pour as much positive energy into your life as you find yourself doing for others, happiness won’t elude you.
What you believe you become. You have to treat yourself better than the world has treated you. Stop anticipating trouble. Real life is challenging.
You have to be your hero. You won’t be asking yourself, who am I or where is my place amongst the craziness of so many mixed messages of the people around you.
For the longest time, I was made to believe you can’t and you won’t. I had no idea my life could go from uncomfortable to comfortable. We have to come to a point or crescendo where we can’t stand ourselves, the environment or the negative messages inflicted upon us by others. I decided I could, and I was going to undertake the painful work of getting real and begin the climb up. It is a process.
Start living your own story instead of somebody else’s.
Remember to keep the circle positive, peaceful and loving. ©
Written with love.
