Good Morning, Angels! I hope you had a very Happy Holiday and your back and ready to bring in the New Year with a Powerful Intro. I would like to offer you some valuable advice on how to start it off right. First....I know that I am always telling you to love those that act like they need love through negative actions, but one thing I haven't told you is how to protect yourself while you are doing that. A lot of times people like that, those that are hurting so much in themselves will try to inflict pain on those around them to put them in the same boat as they are in. If you are dealing with someone that is full of resentment and bitterness and they give nothing to you, but expect the world from you, love them from a distance. Know when to create the distance needed to not lose yourself in the process of trying to be the better person. Create distance, but don't give up on them or stop loving them.
Next, know when to walk away. If you have been in a heated discussion with your spouse, sibling, acquaintance or you're dealing with a client whom you feel you have done just about everything you can do possible for, and you are at the end of your rope, walk away and give yourself the time and respect needed to think. Anything said or done during the height of emotions usually leaves a person with many regrets. Learn when to you walk away. The positivity that the break will offer is powerful and productive to developing a strategy. Walk away.
Make way for something positive to happen to you this year. Remember, if you are trying to get a new career, or find someone or something that is better for you than what you have experienced up until this point, you have to make room for something better to happen by ridding the past or present situation from your life. If you have anyone you are warring with or you owe someone money, make it a point to start a different energy flowing. Start paying them back, even if it's in small amounts. That is much better than neglecting your responsibility. Make an attempt to make peace with the opposite person you are fighting with. Don't forget the first paragraph while you are doing that. Clear your path and life so new blessings can come to you.
Last, and definitely not least, are your dreams. Do not at any time stop believing in them. If they are alive in your heart and mind, that is reassurance from the Higher Power that the world is yours. You can do what ever your mind and heart desire. Just go after it. Do not listen to the naysayers or let anyone that doubts themselves project their own insecurities or uncertainties on you, inside of your mind. You can and will do it. Don't give up or lose sight of your dreams. It is never too late to start going after them, that is unless you reside in a cemetery, which I doubt. Go do it and don't give up.
Belief + Change= Powerful Human Energy
