This is out of the norm but in my effort to remain Naturally Balanced I must say... I read a lot of blogs and interact with many positive motivated people on a daily bases. Most days negative hateful attitudes don't faze me until it comes from one or two people. I will not name them but if you know me you know whom I am speaking of. I have been reminded that even the most motivated positive people need a nudge but for the most part they know there boundaries so handle it well. I have especially let a few people get under my skin lately and then I read this tip from PositiveWomenRock.com We teach people how we want to be treated by allowing and disallowing. We usually do this unconsciously and then we're surprised at the treatment we receive.
How do you REALLY want to be treated and how many people in your life currently treat you that way? This got me thinking even harder on the subject. We learn through habit and allowance. You would not ask me to let another person treat me this way and would in fact scold me for doing so however you expect me to allow you to speak and treat me in the same ways. Well excuse me but I am no longer going to let you make me feel that way today or any day. A roller coaster will make even the most seasoned rider sick if riding enough times. I say it's time to get off. This is my declaration to you all of you whom try build me up then try to break me down. I will NOT allow you anymore. You can no longer talk negative hateful words to me. The worlds problems are not my fault and neither are yours. This is the life we have been given now what we do with it is a choice. You can be miserable and hateful on your own but you will not make me feel bad for being who I am. I am happy, willing, able, teachable, loving, kind, smart, patient, passionate, helpful and strong. Because I love me, all of me, I must stand up and say excuse me but I will not let you make me feel that way today.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
