Hello world. The following was written 11/01/2015.
Something to consider, the words which lift one up, can also be used to tear one down. Seeking out the opinions or judgments of another to validate you, creates a viscous cycle in a belief of unworthiness. If they do not validate you, you are unworthy to be seen or heard by them. All hinges on the purview of someone else, approving of who you are and choose to be.
Hearing words such as, You are wonderful, You are strong, I believe in you, I have faith in you, You are a wonderful leader, and You are so capable. As much as these words may lift one up, which they do, they can also tear one down when they are withheld. When does one start to realize the judgments and opinions of others, are no more than a way for one to continually punish oneself?
Seeking out the approval of another, does no more than hand away your own power and control. We are taught to seek out these judgments, then to give them. The judgments and opinions of others, do not define who or what you are. Only you may define you.
Why are you allowing someone else to dictate who you will be in this life? Just because they say it and think it, does not mean it is the Truth. Question everything and ask Holy Spirit or Higher Self to show you what it is they would have you understand. Who are they talking about? Are they showing me what they think of themselves?
The Truth is, this is what they think and believe about themselves. When we judge another, we tell the world how we judge ourselves. So why keep seeking out an opinion, when inside you know God has made you perfect in every way? What those opinions do, is cause one to doubt their own abilities and self worth. You are worthy. You are loved. It is the simplest of Truths. Will you accept it as your own?
Blessings on your journeys my brothers. Hugs and love. You are loved. I love you.
