HELLO READERS
Be proud of yourself, not because of any success you have achieved, but because you were aware of all the difficulties you had to navigate your way through, very often totally alone, to reach the point you have arrived at today. As a result of all the conflicts, demands made upon your time and all the damage the back stabbers have tried to inflict, you are now so much stronger than before and still able to stand confidently on your own, independently glorious as continue along your way following your heart and dreams. Silence, dignity and taking the higher moral ground are great signs of wisdom and emotional maturity. The less you tell them, the more they want to know.
Give yourself credit for having come so far because a lot of others would have gladly given up after only taking a few steps forwards into the unknown. Circumstances that perhaps once scared you are no longer able to intimidate nor threaten your wellbeing and happiness. View every challenge and life test as a way of facing your fears and dealing with stuff that really isn’t nearly as important as you may initially imagined it to be. An accomplished person remains calm and in control on the outside so as not to appear vulnerable inwardly and an easy target for predators. There is always a danger that once you let your guard down, you leave yourself wide open to all kinds of negativity and people who will stop at nothing to take advantage.
Self-protection and being even more selective than ever as whom you choose to befriend is extremely important. You know when you are on the right track by how another person or situation makes you feel because it’s your own intuition that is speaking to you. There is no point in deliberately putting yourself in a weakened position by agreeing to doing favours and associating with people that you are bad for you. There is nothing to be gained by being compliant and behaving like a ‘people pleaser’ except being viewed as a door mat once your uses are exhausted and you become surplus to requirement. The more you respect yourself, the more others will respect you. The stronger and tougher your boundaries, the clearer the message you will successfully transmit to the rest of the world. You do not have to put up with second or third best in anything. You deserve the best because you are the first best. By changing your habits and behaviour patterns, you prepare the ground for new opportunities to find you that will determine the outcome of any future actions.
For what it’s worth, it’s never too late to be whoever you want to do and live a life you are proud of, and if you find that you are not, I hope you find the strength to start over again, only this time, differently. As long as you are breathing, it’s never too late to do some good. Lead by example and let others follow you instead.
Love and Light,
Linda and The Lulas xxx
