Self-Made (Or Not)

It’s easy to look at the current state of your life and claim it’s self-made—after the fact and when things fit together nicely.

But, none of us are self-made.

Remember each of the influences who gave you pieces to your life’s puzzle and showed you how they might fit together along the way.

You may have put piece to puzzle; but, you certainly didn’t make every single piece or do all of the thinking alone.

Honor those who helped you piece together your life and pay forward what you’ve pieced together into the lives of others.

Solving massive life puzzles is much easier when you’re not doing it alone.

Energy Boundaries

The energy you give is the energy you get in return.

Not always.

Sure, it’s often the case that positive energy begets reciprocated positive energy. And negative energy, negative.

But, what about when an incredibly positive energy attracts the opposite?

Like the type of energy that’s toxic, manipulative, and control-seeking.

Sometimes, people who give off that luscious, positive, radiant energy are the most desired targets of energy sucking negatives.

This is why we must have boundaries.

We have to be ready at all times to filter IN the reciprocated (positive) energy that’s attracted to us while simultaneously filtering OUT the unwelcomed (negative) energy that’s looking to suck the life from us.

Don’t take this lightly either.

Energy is life currency.

Be relentless in protecting it.

Hiding [Poem]

Isn’t it funny
How we hide our faults
And then wonder why
It feels like
Nobody
Really sees us

Before You Commit

Before you commit to a serious relationship, check how this person:

  1. Treats others who can’t do anything for them.
  2. Acts/reacts when they’re angry/upset.
  3. Responds to boundaries.

Of course everything is great when everything is great.

To really get to know the person you’re talking to, see how everything is when things get challenged.

Because life is challenging more often than it’s not and the last thing you want is to be stuck solving problems with somebody who acts the opposite of how they do when everything is great.

More Love

Before you complain about how somebody else isn’t loving you as much as they should…

Ask yourself:

Am I loving myself as much as I’m asking them to love me?
