Strong from Within

Other people’s behavior has nothing to do with you and everything to do with what’s happening inside of them.
We truly have no idea what another person has been through, or is going through right now, we’re not “walking in their shoes” so it’s really important not to write your story of another person’s behavior, don’t take it personally, and pay attention to what you know and how you can respond in alignment with truth.
You learn Grace my loves, when you respond with awareness, understanding, and compassion,
while staying strong from within.
When you finally learn a person’s behavior has more to do with their inner struggle than it ever did with you…you learn grace.
We have absolutely no control over anything in the outer world, right?
But the good news is our greatest power lies in the ability to choose in every moment, and we have 100% control over how we will respond to every situation in life. Your superpower is knowing this and using your wisdom and power to be the boss, solve problems, and take full responsibility for your precious life.
We have all had toxic people dust us with their poison. Sometimes it’s more like a drenching. Difficult people are drawn to the reasonable ones and all of us have likely had (or have) at least one person in our lives who have us bending around ourselves like barbed wire in endless attempts to please them – only to never really get there. If you’re the one who’s continually hurt, or the one who is constantly adjusting your own behaviour to avoid being hurt, then chances are that it’s not you and it’s very much them.
You might not be able to change what they do, but you can change what you do with it.
It’s ok to protect your peace. It’s okay to set boundaries. It’s ok to change your mind……the only path to peace is forgiveness — turning bitterness into kindness and resentment into compassion. By doing so, you claim victory over your enemies by refusing to participate in the war. By claiming victory, you establish your own peace. Forgive the toxic people in your life, but then deny them access to you.
It is important in life to make sure you are spending most of your time and energy with your core 5 people, who love you unconditionally, want the very best for you, and make you laugh. Don't use your time and energy engaging with a toxic person.
If you have circumstances necessary to be with them keep the conversation light, breezy, and short.
Set clear, healthy boundaries.
Take care of yourself
Your time is precious.
Remember you can never change another person….
The only way to win with a toxic person is not to play…
The whole point of life is to know who you are.
It is essential to sit with yourself every day in quiet and connect to the beauty that is you
within.
Listen to your heart speak.
Notice what your mind is thinking.
Hear the rumblings of your gut.
Connect with the calling of your soul.
When you know who you are, and what you want, you can create a plan to get there.
This deep knowing makes it impossible to do anything else. And when you feel confident in why you’re here and what you came here to do, you are unstoppable my loves. When you feel brave and unstoppable it never matters what others think or how they respond to your life’s work.
It’s all about you and how you desire to live your one precious life…..Become so confident in who you are that no one’s opinion or rejection or behavior can rock you. Be the light that shines out strong and is true. That light will bounce back and shine upon you.
The light in me, honors the light in you.
Namaste,
Kimberly
