Hello Again Its Me
My closing thought for the night.
The best advice I was ever given was to shine so bright that I couldn't see the negativity that sorrounded me. Sounded easy enough but some days are harder than others, especially when we live in a world where self doubt is the norm and it's expected from society in general. Miserable people do not like other people to succeed. I don't think that this is inherently evil. I just think that they have not found their happy and that is perfectly ok. When someone is being cruel or nasty, even judgmental, try this. I know it sounds crazy but give it a shot. Do NOT apologize if you are not sorry!!! Read that last line again! Are you genuinely sorry because of something you said or did that you actually don't feel good about? Ask yourself when you get the urge to apologize what it is that you are sorry for and make that clear. If you do feel bad about something, air that shit out, but be honest, always. It may sound a little cold and it may even feel that way when you first try it out (it did for me) but what happens is you are being honest. Everyone can respect honesty.
I can tell you that it's liberating to practice the power of your words!
Remember that people who are not happy have the power to change that in their lives. It is is a decision each one of of us has to make on a daily basis. If you are committed to making powerful change in your life remember that it starts with you, for you, by you!!
You get what you give!
Until Next Time. I love you!

(This does not mean throw your compassion out the window. If you really feel the need to apologize by all means do so.)
