" I almost laughed at her, nope PUNCHED her"...I keep trying to not let her get the best of me but she goes up my body and down the other side, leaving every hair standing up..."MONICA" I exclaimed! What Goddy, she answered? I tell ya, conversations with my 16 year old god-daughter are a bit much, I have an instant headache upon hanging up with her... But its funny, some of the same issues she's facing as a teenager, as a grown woman I encounter them too,only difference I've learned people will ONLY do what We allow them to do!
It's funny how we let people get the best of us. And most of the time, they trigger our nerves because they know what buttons to push. I'm reminded of an incident in my own life where it really took some soul searching for me to calm down and realize, there are some people in the world who will do things to us just to be spiteful. There own insecurities and jealousies will allow them to pick at you because of the confidence you elude in whatever area it is they are bothering you.It's up to us to realize their motives and either learn to ignore them or continue to give them the upper hand.
I'm learning that the energy I put off, will be the same energy I get.. We are like magnets.. We connect people who are like us..If we lay with dogs we certainly rise with fies, but if we lay with stars, we take off too( if your mindset is there).
We cannot allow each and every person, place or thing to take us off our path. We cannot allow our selves to be subjected to things we cannot benefit and grow from. Our mission should be to keep reaching and aiming for stars. I don't want to walk in anyone else's shoes because my foot print is unique in its own way and I plan to leave my own mark on the world! But, I can reach and aim for stars because each star has its own unique twinkle, patiently waiting for me to make it shine!
Today, I challenge each of you to whole heartedly laugh AT THE NEXT PERSON WHO STEPS INSIDE YOUR WORLD AND TRIES TO CAUSE HAVOC!!! Laugh until they think you are crazy, so crazy that they in turn check themself!!
I do NOT want to be known as the person who explodes everytime someone tries me, I don't want to be looked upon as a woman who cannot control her feelings and one who is filled with insecurities.
I'm a strong woman, who knows what I want and what it takes to get there and if it takes laughing in the face of adversity everytime, well let the laugh off begin!!!
Be Encouraged, Be Inspired!!
