    If I Could Tell a Sister Something Today….

    It would be…. PROTECTION

    We must learn to shield ourselves from the imposition of others. All throughout life, all of our relationships with other human beings and all of our interactions with other human beings. We get projected upon ourselves day in and day out, moment in and moment out, from all others. We get dumped on with other peoples’ grievances, other peoples’ perspectives, other people’s ambitions, other people’s ways to love, other people’s idiosyncrasies, other peoples’ limitations, other people’s baggage! The fact that these people are in our spheres does reflect something about your point in growth in that given period in time, but the issues of that person are their own, just like yours are your own. They are their own selves just as you are your own self.

    End now the time when you allow others’ limitations and visions of themselves to predict and dictate the limitations and visions of yourself. Release yourself and wash your SELF of all of those fingerprints!
