Have you spent your life going out of your way to be there for people who barely remember to ask you how you’re doing?
I’ve done this year after year. This lack of self respect came with a lack of boundaries.
I didn’t even know I should have had those.
It’s only when we learn how valuable our energy expenditure is, do we start to honor our boundaries. Do not feel that instituting boundaries means you care less, or that you’re unforgiving or resentful.
It’s really a matter of determining the ‘quality’ of the interaction. Are you truly leaving people better or are you merely enabling a victim mentality, chronic griever, poor me mindset and eternal sufferer?
Not everyone wants to heal. Not everyone wants to earn.
Not everyone wants to thrive.
They want their excuses more than that.
Stop trying to change that.
Respect the path of the chronic chaos seeker.
Those who truly desire help, take it and make changes.
Those who don’t, will vacuum every last bit of your energy.
Learn to see this because part of our willingness to sacrifice our time and energy is also our need to be needed.
There will come a time when you are so depleted by your Mother Theresa complex that you will see that those that leaned on you sometimes forget you even existed.
Dear beautiful heart, we teach people how to treat us. Raise your standards. ?☝️?
