How very powerful! I don’t think I am anywhere near that strength. So big, so big.
This has helped me so much. Bless and thank you Monique.
This is very important. I see a patterns, because I withdraw. I will change that without feeling I am setting myself up for more Hurt, but in a wise way 😘. Thank you 💖
Wow, that was super powerful — this dynamic has replayed over and over again in my life. I have never heard anyone speak about it before! So wise. I notice a trait in myself to quickly label someone I just met as “such a great person” as if my declaration will make it so. Needless to say I have been disappointed many times by people because they don’t live up to my expectations for them and I need to own my role in this. It reminds me of the quote by Maya Angelou, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” I so desperately want people to be good, kind, honest, fair, generous, caring that I will sometimes look past clues that they are not that. You did not specify what you friend did, but I cannot always continue to love them as you can Monique. If someone shows me they are dishonest or hurtful towards others, I will not be able to have them in my circle. I will go away peacefully, I cannot expose my heart to them any longer. I really appreciate your wisdom Monique.
Big hug Monique, key takeaway: it’s not about who they are, it’s all about who we are: Integrity and honesty ❤
Powerful!!! Wow, I never saw it presented in this light. What a learning moment for me. Sorry for your pain but thanks for sharing. You truly walk your talk.🥰
Thank you Monique. That is such a learning curve. You carry such wisdom. We still retain certain memories dont we and have a choice to make something good out of it for ourselves……peace of mind and what is right for us. Spread the love.
