Distance Yourself From Dysfunction

  The hardest thing you will probably have to do on your journey towards emotional wellness and/or self-love is create distance.  Before you can distance yourself from old ideas, thoughts, beliefs, addictions, etc. you will need to create some space from the people that keep those things alive in you.  The reason a person who has kicked the habit of alcoholism after many years still refers to their self as an "alcoholic" is because they recognize that if they are put in the wrong kind of environment, it is very likely that they will succumb to the temptation to take a drink. 

  As you move forward on this journey, you will need to determine what kind of environment is most suiting for your progression.  It will also be important for you to decide before hand that you will not be made to feel guilty for choosing to honor your right to be in a nurturing environment.  I say this to you because there will be many (especially family) who will call you names or tell you that you have changed.  Fear not; CHANGE IS GOOD!  In life there are those who will rather revolve than evolve and if you are interested in evolving you have got to get serious about the people, places, and things you subscribe to.  Still this doesn't make you better; just different!  In a different awareness; and in pursuit of something different!!

  When we go beyond the physical realm and begin to venture around in the spiritual realm, we understand our connection and oneness to others.  Through this broader awareness we expand the barriers of the word "Family" and we begin to create the families we need.   "So stop saying you never had a mother when you had a motherly presence; stop saying everyone you know has disappointed you when you had a teacher who showed up everyday and saw something in you."  We must begin to recognize the gifts of God in our lives.  What I'm saying is stretch your borders and watch the world you live in change.  Remember, perception will always be reality!  So, what's your perception?  For the answer: Check your reality!


I encourage you to go within and discover your own personal truth.  And until our paths collide again, I wish you....


Peace, Love, Life, and Harmony,
