Cleansing

Note: I feel as if I wrote something about this topic once, before. Maybe I'm mixing things up with random FB postage, but considering the recent inspiration, perhaps it's all worth repeating. 

In time, we will come to a point where we can support others' ideas and goals, without them fearing any deception, lies, doubts, and empty criticism that can, or have halted one's growth. Until then, we have to deal with those that hope you never see past the masks they wear. They hope that you'll continue to rely on them for a blessing, or have your hand held, while they walk you through a life where you put aside your progress just to satisfy theirs.

Some people don't make it out of that trap, but for those that do, the ones that wake up and pull themselves from the void, they have a clearer outlook on what they are truly worth. Worth goes beyond money, and whether you call it an awakening of the spirit, or of the self, it is something that your previous anchors will learn that they made you this unhinged, unforgiving person; one whose aggressive growth has become more exclusive to those that legitimately deserve your compassion and attention, but none more than yourself, first.

Be better than them, not just in success, but in character. Even in that success, be humble, and note that without awareness that they were diluting your value, chances are you wouldn't stand as tall, or as far away from their influence as you do, now.
