Let go to people who are not ready...

One of the most difficult things you will have to do in your life will be to let go of the people you love the most, but who do not let you move forward in your path. But, this act is not synonymous with being proud, nor proud, rather it is reason. To tell the truth, you will continue to love them from another perspective, from another level of understanding, comprehension and consciousness, and it will also be the most important: stop being linked to those who are not ready to love you.

Stop having hard conversations with people who don’t want to change. Stop showing up for people who are indifferent to your presence. Stop giving your love and energy to people who are not ready to love you. I know your instinct is to do everything you can to earn the good graces of everyone you can, but it’s also the impulse that will steal your time, your energy, and your sanity.

When you show up in your life fully with joy, interest, and commitment, not everyone is going to be ready to meet you there. That doesn’t mean you have to change who you are. It means that you have to separate yourself from people who are not ready to love you.

If you are excluded, subtly insulted, forgotten or easily ignored by the people you spend most of your time with, you are not doing yourself a favor by continuing to offer them your energy and your life.

You are not for everyone, and everyone is not for you. That’s what makes it so special when you find the few people with whom you have a genuine friendship, love or relationship: you’ll know how precious it is because you’ve experienced what it’s not.

But the more time you spend trying to force someone to love you when they’re not capable, the longer you’re depriving yourself of that same connection. It’s waiting for you. There are billions of people on this planet, and many of them are going to meet you at their level, with the vibration of where they are, connect with where they are going. But the longer you stay stuck in the familiarity of people who use you as a cushion, a fallback option, a therapist and a strategist for their emotional work, the longer you stay out of the community you crave.

The most precious and important thing you have in your life is your energy. It is not your time that is limited; it is your energy. What you give to each day is what will create more and more in your life. What you give your time to is what will define your existence. When you realize this, you will begin to understand why you are so anxious when you spend your time with people who don’t contribute to you, and in jobs or places or cities that don’t suit you. You will begin to realize that the most important thing you can do for your life, for yourself and for everyone you know is to protect your energy more fiercely than anything else.

It is your job to realize that you are the master of your destiny, and that you are accepting the love you believe you deserve. Decide that you deserve genuine friendship, genuine commitment and complete love with people who are healthy and thriving. Then wait in the dark, just for a moment, and see how quickly everything changes.
