Do not be afraid to say no. You are here to make choices which support your growth. How many times do you say yes because you are afraid that you will not be loved? Do you see? Choose what serves both yourself and the greater good. At times, your choice will not serve both, so ask yourself what is your motive? If it is to care for the self and it does no harm to others, then choose the self. If you can care for the self and serve others, all the better. But again we caution you that choices made out of fear of not being loved do not promote growth. They further lack of awareness that the love you seek is always and already within you.
You are so very loved.
EXACTLY what I so needed to hear today!! It’s incredible to realize how much we can gravitate toward people-pleasing which ultimately drains our life force. Your words brought immediate clarity to the choices in my lap. Boom! Everything simplified. I’ve written them down to have at a glance. And the love within suddenly has a brighter glow. Thank you! ❤️
Saying yes, even when you know you are being used, is not “a bad thing” WHEN you know that person truly needs you to have their back even if they don’t actually understand how very much they need you there, or what they are up against.
However, when that same “user” asks for time and energy, of you, which they could well do on their own, …then – allowing yourself to be used – it becomes – a very different story offering deep misfortune for both of you. Any fears of “not being liked” are sure to become realities because disrespect is an undesirable condition to give and equally undesirable to receive…. …to accept, allow or encourage disrespect is self-degradation, which grates and wears upon all souls present.
We are meant for better. There is NO NEED to BE LESS THAN.
It is a form of TRUTH.
TRUTH is a form of Love
If it is not Love, it is not TRUTH… and
THEREBY, it becomes the eyeopener, and harsh lessons are learned. You need not learn thusly. Your heart and gut already told you, but you feared the TRUTH.
Ce la Vie. Life IS what you make it.
