"When People Take but never give back"
As the holiday season is here life can bring all kinds of mixed emotions. It should be the happiest of times but for some and also for me, it can remind you of those that we love that are no longer here and wishing that we could spend the holidays with them. Thanksgiving has come and now its gone. I started the day in giving thanks and simply being so grateful for being alive and having my love ones here.
My expectations for others has sometimes caused me so much discomfort because I expect that the way I treat others they will do the same to me. That is not reality, and life is not always fair. I continue to try to have a positive mindset because if I don't I will live a very uncomfortable life. People will not always live to my expectations. Its painful at times not receiving the call, having someone just checking on you to see how you are doing or to simply just to see if your alive. Realize that you are the power of you and what happens on the outside has nothing to do with you. Happiness comes from inside, being happy is a choice. We sometimes give our happiness away by letting others control our emotions. If someone doesn't want to be active in your life and be the friend, or love one that you need them to be, adjust your life accordingly.
People can only treat us how we allow them to. How much do you value yourself? When we give out of love we don't have expectations for others to give back. If another treat us less than we deserve we need to take a quick look at ourselves. Sometimes especially with our family members they may never give back in a way that we give to them. We don't choose who our family is; so they will always be there no matter what. Live in gratitude and continuous service of others. Make the decision to live in love anyway. Continue to be who you are, because whatever you put out there in the universe you will receive back. Ask yourself another question, "Are you able to love those that don't love you back?"
We have to learn to set boundaries of how we allow people to treat us, no matter who the person may be. You have to power to have the confidence to understand that everyone may not be a giver like yourself. Fall in love with yourself first, and know that it is totally okay to release those from your life who do not support you, or it feels so toxic that they could be really be holding you back. How you allow people to treat you has a great impact on what will show up in your life going forward.
