Lies!

They lied. 

Life is not supposed to be a constant struggle.  Who told me that?  I can't even remember where I learned it but the thought used to feel as natural as showering daily.  Lately, I feel it's bullshit.

If I am in any environment that does not bring out the absolute best in me, why would I continue to suffer through it?  And I am not talking about the things that you must suffer through, I am talking about the things that we can literally walk away from but still choose to sit in the b/s.  It's a scam!  

Changing my mind will change my actions, which will lead to changing my life.

I am not suffering through something that one decision could get me out of.  I just do not believe that I was created to endure a bunch of bullshit.  And again, I do not know where I learned this mindset but I opt out of it as of today.

In conclusion, I am not & will not be going through anything that does not feel good to me.  I spent the first half of my life enduring things that were not contributing to my growth.  In all honesty, the things I have put up with have slowed me down and altered the path I was once so certain about.  I have no more time for detours that I KNOW are not part of my learning curriculum.  

Some things that I've gone through were learning experiences for the other person and depending on who that person is, I will not be available as a tool for others to learn from.  I opt out of all trauma that is not meant to strengthen me and I pray I have the discernment in all situations to know the situations I should engage in and the ones that I need to opt out of quickly.  Let the Church say AMEN!

    Amen & looking forward to a healed future.
