The Revelation: What Happens to Givers?

WHAT HAPPENS TO GIVERS?
What happens when you finally realize the truth about yourself?

Yes, I know it has been awhile since I have blogged and last wrote my innermost thoughts down. Well, after much introspection, today, I picked up my pen and  began fresh...I am back from my hiatus.

I asked the question at the very beginning of this post that says what happens when you finally realize the truth about yourself?  I realize that most of our decisions as human beings are based on our choices whether good and bad and I realize that as humans, we are prone to making hasty and bad decisions…or is it just me?

Here's the thing, I  am known as a "Giver" and most of the time those who are givers find themselves more times than not, being empty and depleted. As a Giver, I am also a person full of passion, so this means that I am a double-edged tragedy.

For Givers, they usually get taken advantage off and for the passionate at heart, their passion oftentimes than most kills them.

So, I had a revelation, sitting on my couch reflecting briefly on my life.

I am tired of being taken…

Taken by everything and everyone around me.

As I sat, I heard a voice in my spirit, that is time for  me to give to me. No longer should I consider others above myself. No longer should I love others above and beyond myself. Absolutely under no circumstances should I stay somewhere or in a position because of others.

Truth is…I am drained!

I am drained by life and it is nobody's fault but my own.

One of my favorite bloggers and writers  James Altucher wrote two completely opposite books that I purchased and fell absolutely in love with.

One of the books is titled, "Choose Yourself,"  whilst the other is titled, "The Power of No!" I should have already realized that I need more than a Self-Help book which these clearly are not, but I need to make a decision about loving myself to the point where I free myself from the obligation of giving. Also, to tame my passion at the right moments and for the right people.

Everyone does not deserve your gift of life, talents and love. They don't deserve your best, while you suffer in the end…

Did I tell you that I am tired?

Yes, here's that word again…" tired"

Truth is, I just had enough!

I love this quote that says, "Only you can decide, when the time has come, because there is a fine line between giving up and knowing when you have had enough."

I am not a quitter but I have had enough…

I need more than meeting everyone's need, I need someone that is willing to fill my needs…
I Need Help!

What happens to Givers in the end?

They get taken…don't be taken, learn how to stop being a casualty to your choices.

For every cause, there is an effect…so stop being the cause that eventually makes ripple effects in your life. Stop being the crusader, trying to solve all the world's problem…

Choose Yourself!
Solve your own crises and problems, solve You!
Finally, learn how to say "No", emphatically and unapologetically…NO!

Mean It!

  Hello, is this thing on?🎤 Well, it has been a while since I have released a blog post. The reason is that I have not been inspired to write much of anything lately. When I tell you the season I was in, from a personal perspective was a dry season. it was a period of being off the grid and staying in the shadows. It was the season of my detox. It required me to be poured into rather than pouring out myself.  Lately, I found myself searching and in desperate need of something different. I needed more!   Now, I want to qualify my statement, by simply stating that I needed more than the norm. More for my life! My professional life, my spiritual life, and my personal life required me to seek beyond my normal. I was... no I am intentional about my next season being way different than before. I cannot get away with a mediocre outlook on life because I want more of what life has to offer.  I want to be more. I want to experience more. I am not speaking from the materialistic or influential

Unspoken Words...I Broke Down Today!!!

So how's this for a reel...real talk, real truth and real emotions... I Broke Down Today!!! Some would say, I had a meltdown while others would say I lost total control of my emotions. I would have been deemed emotional and yet I was unashamed... I baled, I balled, I cried out in desperation because of hurt, pain, mishandling and misinformation. You see days before I was walking tall, proud that I was keeping it all together. For what though, for a world that is growing colder and callous every day. Now has me wondering, do people truly care about people. The world today is not the world that I dreamt about...a world of peace, love, unity, equality, equity and family togetherness...just the sound of it seems farfetched now. But yet I still have a dream... that one day tings gonna get better...like the good Bishop says. I broke down today because family is not the same anymore, so much  division, so much strife, no unity and I am asking where is the love that once was had. I broke d

Live Free: Getting Rid of Toxic Connections

I hate to admit the obvious, but I am still learning how life, love and all things in between work. I must confess that I will forever be a life-long learner until the day I die. One thing I've recently discovered for certain is that we are responsible for what we bring into our lives. We are responsible for the types of relationships we have and the people we are associated with. I am aware of how toxic people can be and how we must truly guard our peace at all costs. The older you get, the more baggage you carry. Unfortunately, if the weight is not offloaded, it becomes heavier and heavier. You can then unload on an unwitting victim. On this blog, I've often mentioned introspection and doing the work on yourself before you can help anyone else. However, for clarity and emphasis, you must prioritize your personal development and healing. This comes with the understanding and knowledge that some people are not your assignment and you are not required to help them improve. Geesh
