The Need to Be Liked

There are times when, for no apparent reason or for no good reason at all, people decide that you are not likable
They may even profess to hate you!
They will say things about you or to you that will hurt your feelings
Sometimes they will go out of their way just to be mean and nasty to you.
No matter how hard you try to make them like you, they won't!
This does not make them bad people. Oh no!
It simply means that they have their "stuff" going on with them that has nothing to do with you
And that will trigger your stuff! That's right!
The behaviour of the people who don't like you will bring up your abandonment issues. 
Your issues of being rejected
Your issues of not being good enough or not doing things right enough
The minute you discover that somebody you think is important doesn't like you, all your people pleasing stuff will be triggered, and you will be forced to deal with it. 
What a blessing! This is precisely the stuff you need to heal - Until Today


So in my morning reading this popped up! I read it again, and again, and again because it was just so relevant to me at the time, every single word!
firstly, everyone doesn't have to like you, secondly, it's their stuff and most importantly, it triggers our own stuff as a indication that there is some healing and feeling and dealing to take place!
Indeed a blessing
So step out today knowing that you are totally light, totally empowered and totally equipped to deal with any of the stuff that surfaces

Not enoughness will mash you up!

Peace

Redefinition of Lose

Rather than think about what you have to do to change a situation, consider what the situation might be doing to change you. How it might be seasoning and transforming and growing you. You are not responsible for everything and everyone. Allow that as a possibility. Jessica Dore There are some situations that are simply in your life showing you how to shift, how to be flexible, to grow, to transform. You long for change, yet you cling so to the familiar. You are so afraid of what you think you will lose. You are even afraid to lose the things you don't want. The familiar becomes your family, regardless of what it is. let's redefine "lose" I define lose as opening up to a new possibility The day I stopped saying that I lost my house, lost my marriage, lost my mind, things shifted for me The shift has to start inside How we define and relate to the circumstances in our lives transforms how we act. I started asking myself different question...

What Does Support Look Like to You?

  You save yourself energy when you learn to ask people what they need, instead of assuming you know best then acting on your own impulses. Allowing people to define what support looks like gives you an ability to assess if you have the capacity to show up - Minaa B If someone asks you right now, what does support look like to you, what would be your answer? It takes self reflection , self awareness and more importantly a whole load of authenticity to answer. On the flip side, do you rush to support others without them even asking- there may be times when that is required, however many a time we assume that we know what others want and need. The times when we do assume, after a while a feeling of resentment builds because "how could they be so ungrateful?" or "why are they not seeing their need for my help?" the other classic is "they must need my help to show them because they clearly are not seeing that they need support" We continue to assume what othe...
