Take It or Leave It

Take It Or Leave It

How much of what you think and feel during the day is influenced by your relationship with others; be it work related, social, or intimate?
We have many things on our mind’s plate, ourselves, personally- related to dreams, worries, aspirations and goals.

However, when we go about our day, we are interacting with all sorts of energies, and involve ourselves with an array of attitudes and attributes brought forth by others, besides our own.

It is easy to get swept away by what others are going through; what others have to say about what we are going through, and what we are going through in our relationships with others.

In life, we thrive on love, support, and most of all acceptance from others with whom we cherish having in our lives.
Though it is important having positive reactions and attention from others to guide and help us in our growth of becoming the strongest and best we can be, the truth is this:

We may look for reassurance from others, and we can only hope that those we surround ourselves with will treat us with respect, care and unconditional love; but when it comes down to it, what others think about us in none of our business.

We must understand that we are in complete ownership of every choice that we make. We must take what we need to take to be the best we can be… leave anything else that is stunting our growth, behind us. This will allow us to walk forward, without any influence but “our own”, where now will be able to walk the path, without worrying if it is right…

It is simply “rightfully ours.”

We all deserve trusting relationships with others, this will never change.
But what needs to change is our belief that what others think of us is who we are.
We need to take in our own opinions and our own advice, and leave the rest.

And as we wish to have done onto us, as we would do onto others,
we must sit in non-judgment to allow others to take their own course, and of course give as much love and care to them, on their way.
