Balancing Your Support

Are people constantly on your emotional doorstep? While you would like to help everyone with every issue every day until they are out of the dark, you can not allow someone else's negativity, drama, poor choices, or self-inflicted problems pull you in. It can be very difficult to know where to draw the line, but all of their issues are the lessons of life they need to experience for personal growth. Let them have their experience without it becoming a total distraction for you. Their issues should not be a headline but a small subsidiary story in your day. For all things show compassion by all means, but do so with the understanding that all experiences are meant to help you grow as an individual- that goes for everyone. Know that they too will eventually find themselves in a better place if they do what is necessary to work through their challenges. Part of your journey is balancing the support your give away and the work you put into your self for your own personal growth. Remember that you and your growth must be your first priority, and the only thing ultimately in your control. ~For more posts check out www.twitter.com/_TheAnswerKey & fb.me/TheAnswerKey.

Feeling Stagnant? Get Unstuck...

Pray first. Then, count your blessings because gratitude and anxiety cannot share the same space. Now, prepare to shake things up. Take a trip. Take a drive. Take a walk or simply step outside. Close your eyes, and take a deep breath. Breathe in through your nose, out through your mouth so you can smell and taste the air. Focus on the beating of your own heart. That sweet rhythm... let it be a calm and steady reminder that your presence is important and your Being is enough. Then, intentionally create more joy every chance you get.  ~ For more positive posts stop by  fb.me/TheAnswerKey  & tweet me    @_TheAnswerKey  daily!

Let Go Like Elsa

Know when it is time to cut ties with the the ignorant, the indecent, classless, dramatic, disrespectful, and the delusional- let them go. Let them be and fester amongst themselves. Refuse to give them the audience they crave. Know when you are above the fray, and act accordingly. Remain elevated. Remember that you are pragmatic, motivated, sophisticated, and celebrated among those that truly know you. Be dutifully at work on your greatness and betterment- be better and move on. ~ For more positive posts stop by  fb.me/TheAnswerKey  & tweet me    @_TheAnswerKey  daily!

I.Y.K.Y.K.

They will always think what they want, and there is nothing you can do about it. Now, you be the judge. Judge for yourself. Look yourself in the mirror and answer to you. Everyone else's take is just their opinion. The ideas they have formed about who they think you are have nothing to do with you, who you are, or who you are becoming. Even for the people that matter, whose opinions you hope are positive and at the very least, pragmatic- they only know some of your depth. Even they can not attest to your every challenge, consideration, conquest, desire or fear. Speak for yourself and speak up. Make sure you get your attention, and get to the business of being someone you would speak highly of.  ~ For more positive posts stop by  fb.me/TheAnswerKey  & tweet me  @_TheAnswerKey  daily!
