Something to think about…

07/01/2024

Your hard work is the dream of every unemployed person;

Your restless child is the dream of everyone without children;

Your small home is the dream of every homeless person;

Your little capital is the dream of every debtor;

Your poor health is the dream of every patient with an incurable disease;

Your peace, your peaceful sleep, your accessible food is the dream of everyone in a country at war.

You must appreciate everything you have. After all, no one knows what tomorrow will bring.

Contrary to popular belief, time does not heal, time does not fly, time does not do anything. Time has no consciousness. It does nothing for you. The key to happiness now is what you choose to do with your time right now. Are you, right now, making the most valuable use of your time? This moment is, after all, the time of your life. Your choices are what make each moment. ~Robert Holden

Are you familiar with the
“Let Them” theory?
I’ll tell you the more I grow the more I am okay with accepting the “Let Them” in my own life and relationships.
Even family can mistreat and disrespect you.

This is something that took me a very long time to learn. I used to tolerate a lot because I didn't want to lose people. I learned the hard way if they were really my people they would never treat me like that. Don't make the mistake of being so understanding and forgiving that you overlook the fact that you're being repeatedly disrespected.

Let them be upset.
Let them judge you.
Let them misunderstand you.
Let them gossip about you,
Let them ignore you.
Let them be "right."
Let them doubt you.
Let them not like you.
Let them not speak to you.
Let them run your name in the ground.
Let them make you out to be the villain.
Whatever it is that people want to say about you, let them!
Kindly step aside and LET THEM.

The hard truth is they know how much they are hurting you. They just simply don't care. They did it knowing it could cause them to lose you. They did it anyway. People that love you care about how they make you feel.
The end.
Let them go.

There will be people that would rather lose you than be honest about what they've done to you. Let them go.

The lack of respect was the closure. The lack of apology was the closure. The lack of care was the closure. The lack of acountability was the closure. The lack of honestly was the closure. Let them go.

Make the decision to no longer sit at tables where you might be the topic when you get up. Let them go.

You can still be kind. You can even still love them deeply. But do it from the distance they created in their words and actions. Access to you is a privilege they have proven they can’t be trusted with. Let them go.

You don’t need to tell your side of the story. God already knows. Let God fight the battle for you. Let them go.

It’s taken me a long time to get here. Sleepless nights, countless tears, managing a range of emotions filled with anger, disappointment, confusion and deep hurt. Lots of self reflection, self preservation, deep prayer and seeking wisdom from those much wiser than me.

If you are struggling with this please know you are not alone. We will never understand why hurt people hurt people. But we can do the hard work to grow ourselves. Because healed people do in fact heal people.

Don’t you dare let them steal your joy.
Don’t you dare let them steal your light.
Don’t you dare let them steal your peace.
You are in control of that.

Hold tight to what you can control and release your grip on what you can’t control.

Let them go.

Forget what you did or didn’t do yesterday, forget what happened last year or 10 years ago, forgive who hurt you and wasn’t there for you, let go of attachments and people that don’t come from a loving place, forgive yourself for whatever you think you didn’t do right.
Today is a new day… make it count, make it beautiful, make it happen, make it the best that you can with where you now are.
You are worth it, you are deserving, you matter, you are loved, you are enough.

Sometimes Someone

Sometimes someone’s perfect
Is another person’s flawed
Sometimes someone’s peaceful
Is another person’s bored

Sometimes someone’s freedom
Is another person’s trapped
And sometimes someone’s make-believe
Is someone else’s fact

One man’s trash, they often say
Is someone else’s treasure
And someone’s stormy forecast
Is another’s perfect weather

Sometimes someone’s scars
Can tell a very painful story
And sometimes they’re reminders
Of a celebrated glory

Because it all depends you see
On where you’re actually stood
On what you care to notice
And how far you dare to look

And there is sometimes someone
Standing just across from you
Who from the other side
Can see a very different view

Yes, all the time perspective
Will determine what we find
It’s how the number 6
Is sometimes someone’s number 9

And it is also how
You sit and count your flaws and scars
Whilst to someone just across from you
You’re perfect as you are
