Many of us don’t want to be a burden in any way, so we settle. In relationships, careers, food (especially when placing an order), zip codes, vehicles, etc…we settle.
At times, when we know in our hearts that we need not speak, we don’t keep quiet. And when we know we need to speak, we remain silent.
I like my eggs not hard, but not runny and quite a few times others have become upset that I wouldn’t just go with the hard or runny.
Today, I’m here to tell you that you are FREE to take as long as you need to place your order. You are free to change up the specifications of your order to your liking, regardless…and that applies to ALL areas of life!
You are free to be firm and kind. It is possible. I’ve accommodated for too long, “gone along with” and entertained what hasn’t been good for my soul for far too long. Not.any.more!
What (or whom) are you creating distance from so that you can simultaneously have space to hold the people and things essential to your healing and growth?
It is alright to outgrow relationships and familiar spaces for your own evolution…and a revolution!
