No more walking on eggshells!

Many of us allow other people’s opinions to dictate what we believe, value, or perceive. It is not always easy to stand up for our beliefs and opinions when others, especially those we care about, constantly bombard us with their views and often feel "hurt" by our opinions. 

You might be thinking, “No, not me! This never happens to me. I’m strong in voicing my beliefs.” However, if you stop, look, and listen closer, you may find that at one point or another, you have found yourself conforming your opinions, either to avoid confrontation or judgment, or because you have lost faith in what you feel is right. 

In truth, we all have that person in our lives with whom we feel the need to walk on eggshells, either to avoid hurting them or because we do not trust ourselves and our truths. Today, it is time to recognize when you feel the need to edit your truth to spare someone's fragile feelings. In fact, today would be a great day to set your intentions to let go of those people because they are stopping you from moving forward and hurting you bit by bit with every conversation you feel like you need to edit to spare their feelings. 

Today, it is time to let go and trust that new people who value your voice and your opinion will enter your life. It is time to let go of those people who constantly need YOU to soothe their feelings. Btw, you will never be successful in your attempts not to harm them because they are looking for reasons to be hurt. Today, they and their fragile feelings are no longer your responsibility. Today, let go and see what happens. Today, let go, no matter how hard it feels; you will be free of the nagging fear that you might hurt someone's feelings just by being yourself and speaking your truth. Your truth is that you deserve better. So today, let them go!

Just for today, it does not matter what other people say or do. What matters is how I choose to react and what I choose to believe about myself. And so it is.
