The older you get, the more you realise a difficult truth: Not everyone needs to stay in your life.
You think perhaps because you have known someone for so long, that they will always be in your life. But this isn’t necessarily the case. People are with you for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. And it is up to you to choose.
The question to always ask yourself is: ‘How am I feeling when I’m with this person?’ Of course, not all relationships are plain sailling. But this is deeper than that. Are you belittled? Are you taken for granted? Are you treated in a way you would not treat another?
If the answers to these questions are ‘yes’. Then you know what to do.
The time has come for you to really love and honour yourself, and turn away from those who don’t. When you love yourself deeply, when you only have your best interests at heart, you simply wouldn’t allow another to treat you badly. And this is where it starts.
Love, love, love the very being of you, and watch how those around you who aren’t for you fall away. Watch how your circle becomes smaller, but becomes more loving and supportive. And this is exactly what you deserve.
Today’s Declaration:
“I love myself unconditionally in every moment. Even when I make mistakes, I love the ‘me’ that made them. I know I am not perfect, because no one is, but I do know that I deserve love. I commit to myself now, and ensure that all who come in my life are loving too.”
Thank you, I needed to see this message from the Mermaids. I needed to turn away from someone and let them go, so thank youxx
