Morning!
Sometimes, we go out of our way for the people we care.
The thing is, though…sometimes the people we care about don't really give a damn about us.
Sure, they might *say* they do.
Then they ignore your calls, your texts, your problems, even when you've always been there for them before.
Even when you're the one with the skills/talents they need.
But you know something?
You have only yourself to blame…because you were the one who chose to listen to the words and *ignore* what the actions screamed out.
And that's okay.
Personally, I've found that much of my proactive actions, even when unappreciated….really helped me grow spiritually as a person.
Heck, my huuuuge failure back in August happened quite a lot in part because of good intentions of mine….that kicked me in the teeth 9,392 times. Utterly destroyed me and killed the person I was…but perhaps, that person *needed* killing.
I needed to grow and evolve.
Know what I mean, aye?
And even afterwards, I still gave myself permission to *understand* the people involved, and make miracles happen for them of which nobody else was capable of achieving (and that's not ego speaking – that's simply the plain unvarnished truth).
That was thousands of dollars of services… all given for free. And because it was for free, it had the same value. To this day, I cannot comprehend the arrogance that made my friend take this for granted.
No more.
Because….
It is *not* okay to be a doormat.
It's not ok for me, and it's not okay for you!
Just *stop* being there for people whose actions show their words…are as sturdy and long-lasting as sodden kleenex.
You deserve 'way better.
As do I.
Grow strong,
Barbara Ling
