Find people in life who let you know they appreciate you. Who show you that they respect you. Be it your woman or your man. Your boss. Your friends. Your family…
In life there are situations where you will have to prove yourself. Prove your skill or qualifications for a job; but don’t settle for a job where you are not respected or appreciated. Make money, don’t let money make you.
In relationships and friendships you do have to build trust. But don’t settle for friends or a partner who don’t make you feel respected or loved. Don’t settle for friends or a partner who make you feel that you can’t trust them. Get someone who is not afraid to let you know how much they appreciate you. Get you someone who acknowledges the efforts and time and love that you put in to the relationship. It doesn’t have to be with flowers or jewelry or material things all the time. Verbal acknowledgment is heartwarming in itself, especially if you haven’t had that before. And to be able to feel in your heart and soul that the person or people you are around are trustworthy is far more valuable than any glittery piece of jewelry a motherfucker can buy.
Lastly, family. Sometimes blood can hurt you worse than anyone else on Earth because they ARE blood. You don’t get to choose who your blood is coming in to this world. But give yourself permission to set boundaries with blood that may be toxic. And give yourself permission to consider and make people who aren’t your blood, family.
Always remember your power. Always remember that you are in control of your life. Your choices. Your actions and your reactions. You are the Kings and Queens of your own castles. Your own lives. We all have a choice. What do you choose for yourself? For your life?
