Greetings beautiful beloved of the Universe,
Nobody is who they are based upon one decision, one day, one path, one chance, one relationship, or one anything else. Every day is brand new and opportunity never stops knocking.
Who’s there?

I stated yesterday in speaking about the EQ – emotional intelligence factors of the human composition. We are made up of many different aspects, and once we realize that at times, some aspects of us are in “control”, it is time to re-evaluate who we are.
No words will cross my lips in PREACHING to another on how they are to live their realities, mine, as mention above, does change all the time. It really depends on what time of the day, the DAY itself, and obviously the “mood” you would find my awesome self. However, being painfully aware of your emotions can, and is sometimes overwhelming, if you have never suffered this, happiness for you. Me on the other hand, a bouncing rubber ball at the best of times.
One lesson, “thing”, guidance form whomever out there, or maybe simply my own beautiful intuition, is the fact that I can choose, on how I want to react to another. I completely understand comments of “Do me wrong, I shut the door, move on, you don’t exist anymore”, I do, with so much depth, that I don’t think most understand.
Allow me to break this down for you today. I am going to use examples – I worked in the retail industry for many, many years – I crossed paths with people thinking that it was a joke in traumatising me with horrid stories about cats – I intensely disliked those individuals. Place yourself in the situation for a short while – “forced” – for the lack of another term – I had to interact with these individuals at random occasions. My entire essence/being/soul – cringed each time, I had to be in their energetic field. But Source/God(dess) thought it desirable to place me in situations like this in order to hand me “experience” going forward.
There are days I face people that tell me how much they dislike cats – here is my passion, these little fluff-balls of love, and so misunderstood. Do I radiate the “dislike” the “I don’t want to talk to you” energy – or do I stand back and view the individual as JUST LIKE ME and YOU, having the RIGHT to state their truth. (FYI – internally, there is a voice, saying to me – Do not trust people who dislike cats – and that voice is a voice I love, respect and hold very close to my heart).
The only response I hand, “You don’t need to love cats, but we will be grateful for a rand or two towards feeding them, and I have dogs too.” I choose to change my approach, that is what it is about. My conscious decision on how I want to respond. And that my friend is what EQ is about.
Let us use a personal example – a friend, you thought was a friend, shown colours that you disagree with, and or did something that in your world is unforgivable – it is your right to close that door, it is your right to nail it shut, it is your right to never speak, think or waste any energy on them again – however, call it the “catch”, in your safe space, of voicing your disgruntled self – that is your right indeed, but if we preach love and kindness, forgiveness and all that other fluff that goes with it – my message to you is as follows:
“Walk away, forgiving yourself for trusting, believing and loving/caring, spending energy”
I did not say forgive the other – YOU, cut the ties, stand up tall, then go through the process of “letting it go”, 27 steps remember. Within that, you find the emotional maturity to never allow YOUSELF drawn into a world of drama that goes against who you choose to be. You will acceptance comes so much easier, once again, stipulating, it is never about the external, always about the internal.
I had a knock-knock from the past yesterday, thus speaking from experience, where I could have fuelled my resentment towards the treatment of said knock-knock… I chose, to voice within my safe-space on how I feel about it… and now – I am once again in the “letting it go” space… And that darlings, is an achievement for me – I have grown, I have learned – never mastered… However, painfully aware of each facet of what makes me, ME – and using whatever lessons to move forward…
