Leaving The Past Behind

Leaving the past behind is something that many of us are afraid to do.
Holding on to people, places and things that are familiar often becomes a place of comfort and inhibits your ability to grow. There’s comfort in pain, comfort in reliving something that destroyed and changed you. The lesson is done, now let it go. I promise that once you release everything that is holding you back, it will feel like the weight has been lifted off your shoulders and a new life will begin.

Letting go of old relationships that you ruined or tried to ruin you. Let go of the pain and reviving old conversations and reasons why you’re no longer together. Let it go. Let go of old jobs that drain you of your creative abilities, your ability to think and live a life that is filled with your highest good. Tap into energies that you have not discovered. Take a risk and stop playing it safe in victim mode, cause nobody cares. Challenge yourself and shake up your sub-conscious. Open your mind to what is new. That is the only way that you will grow and change into the man or woman you deserve to be.

I had to get rid of the tendency to keep people in my life because of comfort. So-called friendships that serve no real purpose. I wasnt getting anything fulfilling from them, I didn’t have to answer to them, they were just people that floated in and out of my life for no apparent reason. And it dawned on me, I have outgrown this revolving door. My light does not shine brighter because you are around. And today more thanever, it is important to be around energy that supports your highest good. energy that supports your light.

It’s cool when you’re single and seeing whatever and who you want, but when you are elevating your love and opening yourself up to something new and different, some people who are not part of the current program will have to be dropped into the abyss of the past. You can not drag the old you into a new relationship, it’s not going to work. If a person does not resonate with me or vibe with where I am going, then its time to reevaluate the relationship.

I can only go where you go. If you are superficial, then I am going to leave that “superficial” with you and perserve myself for something real. If you are a real person who is clear about their decisions and about what they want in life, then we’re on the same page. Even if you are not all the way clear, you recognize that too. Timeout for men and women who are still lost, still sabotaging relationships, still unclear about their sexuality, still foggy about women, still lying, still giving women a false sense of hope, those people need to be left in “Stillville.” Surround yourself with people who are not afraid to be themselves and who will love you as you are.

2020 has been a reoccuring theme of breaking down and getting back up. But this time once you are up, you will stay up. We are all in a rush to leave 2020 behind, but lets not forget the lessons, the tears, and the hope. I plan on making the new year one of my best years yet. I hope big things come for you and all that you deserve comes into fruition/ But first, leave all the people, places and things that no longer serve you far, far behind.

Be good to yourself and others.
