All great points for positive growth. #2 hit home for me tonight. I must respect myself! Stop waiting for others to love & respect me. I have distanced myself from family & find the only one missing the part time relationship is me. The light came on. One sided love of children & grand children. . Mine for them! Sad, but their loss too. I’m special & have a lot to offer – now, to ones who respect me, invite me into their lives & check on me. I didn’t realize what I’ve been missing! While I wasted time waiting on “family” to want to be with me- others wanted to spend time with me! I see “family” isn’t always who you expect! A precious Blessing! Thank you Marc & Angel! Keep writing!

In reply to Arielle. To me, the one that resonated much is number 6,, not to think that all the strong people you know are perfectly OK. This has really hit home coz there is a case exactly on this that I'm handling. Thanks so much Marc and Angel for such educative, uplifting, insightful and encouraging stuff you post. The Lord bless you as you continue to bring more and keep you safe under His pavilion.

Great article for all things truly generate from the heart……..;it is not what happens aroumd us…..but rather how we respond to them. We must learn to separate ourselves from those who continually create negative vibes for us.
There is s spirit in us humans that either accept or reject (free moral agency)…….we have a choice in every thing we do. That spirit allows or rejects every moment of our loves.
Fill your heart by the spirit (a channel) with all things true, all things peaceful, all things positive, all things lovely, all thigs pure until you are transformed and become thus. By faith (a revelation) you can attain perfect harmony, first with your Creator and then with His creatures. That is the only way you receive a new heart that can forgive others when they offend us or infringe our space. Rejoice in the creation ny seeing His oroginal etrmal Word producing the beauty in Nature.

Thank you Marc and Angel
Lifelong learning in this space, still has room for suggestions and reminders.
Your reminder about self respect is so timely for me. I am still learning to apply this first, as a matter of self care.

Having expectations toward everyone and everything wreak havoc in our mind and soul. Because in many cases, they betray you. Have no expectations and show up to every occasion and opportunity. You might have big surprises at the end. And Like Marc and Angel always say, watch out for the way you react to it. And if need be, control how you react to it to avoid stress and frustration. Another good read!!

Wise thoughts. We all struggle with our expectations of others.

I would add to your thoughts on boundaries: You have control over your feelings, so practice tempering your expectations while distributing your time and attention accordingly to those who deserve the best of you.

Wow! Thank you. I see myself doing some of these things in my relationship with my husband, even when I don’t mean to. It’s like I am on auto pilot… Thank you for giving me something positive to work on.

Honoring my boundaries is self care. I’ve had to keep a little bit more distance from my sister because her resentments and anger affect my serenity. I no longer am willing to listen to her constant, repetitive chatter. The extra space helps, and actually makes both our lives better.
