I was thinking I should not speak about this on my blog. But I decide it to do it, not to make a statement but because is where my energy at this point in time it’s moving tours. Some people think that being spiritual means that if they help you at some point in life that you will be in debt to them forever and that you need to allow them to disrespect you and allow them to walk over you when they feel like it. Boy, did you get it wrong? Being spiritual means that I have enough respect and love for myself to understand who I am and live from a place that I accept who I am, I own what I do and say, it means that I have enough self respect to not allow anybody else to push me around.
And my friends that means that it doesn’t matter how much someone have helped you or care for you or love you that you won’t disagree with them or tell them No, that plane won’t fly out of my airport, every now and then. It is very important for us to recognized our responsibilities, specially when we have done something wrong and need to rectify those things we understand at a core that are wrong. But it is also important to recognized when someone wants to take advantage of our spirituality and core beliefs and try to diminished our light and who we are by pointing fingers and saying things that are simply not true and then when we say no and stand our ground, try to convince us there is not reason to be angry or take a stand.
Guess what? yes there is, it not spiritual to denied what you are feeling to please someone else, is not spiritual to not stand your ground when you feel that something is not right, it is not spiritual to get a message and ignore it because you love someone so much and you do not want to see truth. Trust me I have been there, it had made me stronger bot to have listen sometimes but sometimes I wish I would have listen and accept the message as truth from the moment I got it. But you live and you learn.
I love everything and everyone, I believe in the good we have in us, I believe that we all can choose love and good deeds over what we consider evil in this plane. But I also believe in our journey, and sometimes that journey can be easy or hard, we get choose. But I am not going to and I expect no one in my life or someone I don’t even know to settle for less, or allow themselves to be push around by others. I don’t care how much they have done for you or will do for you in the future, I promise you, you will thank yourself for standing your ground, even if you get an earthquake out of it, you will be glad you did.
And this may read to some as an ice cold water bath but is the truth. I than everyone in my life for everything they have done and still do but do not mistake gratitude for something is not, because I won’t have problem telling. you and even more importantly won’t have a problem listen to the message you may have to deliver to me as long as you are coming from love, respect and truth, other than I simply won’t allow it.
