Stop Looking For The Why?

Sometimes it's a job, an opportunity, or a dream-the thing we wanted so badly .. and prayed for [that] goes up in smoke. Sometimes we get fired when we've been model employees. Sometimes a person we have loved and invested our time, energy, affection, and trust in walks away and leaves us in the dust with little to no explanation.

Stop trying to solve the mystery... Stop looking for the why and start looking for the good in good-bye- because it's there. .. The exit of that person, thing, or dream was

a boarding pass to somewhere new, somewhere better, somewhere you need to be that you weren't going to reach without losing some of the baggage. Realize that if a door closed, it's because what was behind it wasn't meant for you. 

Every time you release your hold on what is old, you issue an invitation to God to fill up that space with some- thing new. The place you were might've been great, but it can't hold a candle to where you can go.

At least, not at your own expense.

STOP BEING THE "NICE' AND

"UNDERSTANDING" PERSON.

It's one thing to have a kind heart, but it's another to let people walk all over you because you're too worried about hurting their

feelings. Being "nice" and "understanding" shouldn't come at the cost of your self respect. It shouldn't mean constantly apologizing for things that aren't your fault or bending over backwards while they barely lift a finger.

You have the right to set boundaries, to say "no without guilt, and to expect more from the people who claim to care about you. Stop shrinking yourself to keep the peace, sometimes, you need to shake things up to protect your own well-being.

When you stand up for yourself, you're not being mean; you're being honest. And the people who truly value you will respect that. Let the rest fll away, because you don't owe anyone an explanation for choosing yourself.
