Learn The Lesson of Saying No…
In the ambient lesson of life, there are moments when affirming others, saying yes, can become a self-imposed shackle. Not every soul you encounter merits an unwavering affirmation from you, each time they seek something. The potency of refusal, the strength in uttering a simple 'no', is often underestimated. It's a testament to your self-worth, a reminder that your time is a precious commodity, not to be squandered on others, but to be invested in yourself. It's not an act of selfishness, but a necessary step towards self-evolution, a journey to uncover the essence of your individuality.
The ability to comprehend the nuances of love, particularly self-love, is a gift. True love is understanding and accepting when you say 'no', it's not a cause for resentment but a moment of respect. A 'no' doesn't signify a lack of care, it's merely a pause, a moment you've chosen to dedicate to yourself. There's no guilt in prioritizing yourself, in acknowledging, loving, and nurturing your own needs.
There will be those who fail to recognize that your journey is unique, distinct from theirs. They may covet your talents, seeking to harness them for their own elevation. They may not comprehend that your light is yours alone, growing brighter each day, fuelled by the positive changes you effect in the world. This is where envy and jealousy rear their heads, for some are dazzled by the radiant spectrum of your light, the unique and organic hues of your impact on others. It's not your responsibility to heal them; their healing must come from self-awareness and self-love.
Those who truly love themselves will wish for your success, while those steeped in unhappiness may attempt to cast their shadow of negativity onto you. It's at this juncture that you must make the crucial decision to deflect their energy. Even if your affection for them tempts you to stay, you must remind yourself that your energy is better spent elsewhere, on your own path. As the saying goes, people enter your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime, and discerning which category each person falls into is a crucial life skill.
Remember, people cross paths with you for myriad reasons. Some may reveal their true colors immediately, while others may take time. Some may resonate with your energy, while others may not. But that's the beauty of life - the world is teeming with diverse souls. Even those you don't resonate with offer lessons, insights to be gleaned. So, whether it's someone in your life or a colleague you don't quite connect with, remember, there's always something to learn from them.
Continue to be kind to one another and keep saving the planet earth. 💜🎤🥰 - Savia Rocks
