It’s in our nature to rid ourselves of shame and lay the blame.
Things seem so much easier when we rid ourselves of responsibilities and don’t want to account for anything.
Even when we are hurt by things or people, forgiveness is the only thing that will bring the relief that we desire. It’s okay to forgive, it doesn’t mean you must forget. After all, ‘once bitten, twice shy ‘.
Give yourself a break. You feel like you always make mistakes?
So what, that’s life. We live, we learn, we move on sometimes we make mistakes all over again. You can either call us stupid or it can make us stronger. Either way , life goes on. It’s a cycle.
Now the thing about cycles is that we have to be careful of the constant web and circles that we find ourselves in. Though wisdom comes with experience, foolishness is no character trait to be proud of. The key point about making mistakes is to regroup and learn.
Can we learn from blaming others for where they have gotten us or what they have put us through? Truth may be that they did have a hand in our unravelling, but even that is not the important thing to note. How do we go on from there. Do we spend time blaming for the circumstances that we are in, the cards that we have been dealt, or do we put our best foot forward and recreate our story?
You see, just because someone kicks us to the ground, is no reason for us to stay there with our face in the dirt, begging for self pity. We get back up stronger than before and become a force to be reckon with. We take that negative energy and turn it around , because what was meant for evil will turn out for good, but we too must help our karma. That which we put in is that which will return. So let us not sit by and marinate in self pity, hate, self blame, blaming everyone and everything instead of taking a stance and commanding our lives.
Let’s drop that victim mentality and and focus on creating and building not expecting and waiting. If someone doesn’t want to see you flourish, you focus your energy and put all your efforts into creating positive and successful results. If they must stand by and feed off negativity, then woe be onto them, but shake it off and use that brush. Whatever people hate so much in others, is something that is buried deep within themselves. With hatred and intolerance is a trace of fear and ignorance. A very present fear of difference, instead of educating and embracing, we choose segregation and try to be superior. We think that we are better than, or sometimes lesser than when what we should be striving for is equality in every capacity.
All our energy and efforts and talent could make such mind blowing beautiful creation, but we choose to waste all of that on the negative.
Next time someone hurt you, abandon you, attack you, summon that lion within and put out that fighting spirit and show them you can rise above their ignorance and that you are destined for prosperity. They can choose to work with you or see your back while you move forward.
Own who you are. No one can take you away from the true you, unless you grant them permission. How we choose to allow others to treat us is up to us. What we are willing to tolerate and how we are prepared to stand up for ourselves is down to us as individuals.
No one can enter the core of your being and take from you what is embedded deep within, so it’s up to you if you want to hand them your soul so they can tear you down or you acknowledge the fact that you are deserving of love, of respect, of kindness and compassion and that you are EQUAL.
I hear the sobs, I see the laughter.
