There will be people in your life...

Note to self: There will be people in your life who will lie to you, betray you and in some cases abuse you. There will be people who won't understand your choices or your journey, they will criticize you, judge you and try and change your direction. They will have different beliefs and they may try to make you feel less than for being who you are. They may try and change you into who they think you should be. They may believe their intentions are pure without realizing the hurt they are causing. They may be strangers or they may be loved ones. There will be people you don’t agree with. There will be people whose actions will leave you questioning humanity. There will be people who don’t know love, forgiveness and acceptance…

Please don’t let these people stop you from loving others, showing compassion and shining your light. Please don’t let these people scare you into being something that you are not. Please don’t let them take away your inner peace. Please don’t let them discourage you from turning your dreams into reality. Please don’t let them take away your beautiful free spirit. I know it’s not easy, but I promise you it’s possible! We all have this amazing power to CHOOSE who, what, if and how we respond to these people. If you choose to respond, do it with love and compassion, your future self will thank you. I promise you giving them control over your life is not worth it because…

There will also be people who love you unconditionally. There will be people who recognize how amazing you are by simply being YOU. There will be people who will support you on your wild and crazy journey. There will be people who will speak life over you. There will be people who will go out of their way to help you and guide you. There will be people with different beliefs but they will have an open mind, open heart and won’t judge you. There will be people who understand you and get you. There will be people who will encourage you to be a better version of yourself, without taking away from how amazing you already are. There will be people who believe in you, even when you don’t believe in yourself. There will be people who see the love, compassion, kindness and magic in you. These are the ones you want to surround yourself with. These are the ones that will help you manifest your wildest dreams.

To all of those beautiful souls loving me, supporting me, encouraging me, and believing in me, you all hold such a special place in my oh so grateful heart. It doesn’t matter if we’ve only crossed paths once or twice, or if your someone I confide in, or if we’ve never met in person and came into each other’s lives through social media. I am oh so very grateful for your presence in my life. THANK YOU.
