Letting Go

For most of my childhood and adulthood I lived to make others happy. If I thought they wouldn't approve or if I believed they would be mad at my decision I simply would NOT do it. Also, I would hide a few of my successes in hopes of not making others feel bad about situations in their lives. In all honesty, this truly made my life miserable. I didn't feel as if I were living for ME.

I pray for growth daily and I do see it in many instances. But, it didn't become prominent until I decided that I would live MY LIFE. I would NO LONGER live to please others. Uplifting them is one thing, but to allow them to take away your bliss is just insanity.

I don't wait for others to approve my decisions. I ask my Father for guidance and if HE feels something is not meant for me, then HE has his ways of clarifying that.

SO...

In the past three years I have been extremely happy. I know this is because I decided to be "The Ruler Of My Life." We can't please everyone in life and in my opinion we are not here to do so.

So, today I am letting go - AGAIN!

*Letting Go Of Anyone Who Feels I Should Live As They See Fit
*Letting Go Of Anyone Who Can't Be Happy For My Blessings (they downplay them)
*Letting Go Of ALL Negative Energy
*No Longer Caring About What Others Say


Instead I Will:

*Live Each Day My Way
*No Longer Hide My Successes (they are worthy of being known)
*No Longer Go Out Of My Way to Please EVERYONE
*Follow My Destiny
*LIVE Happily In Peace

I'm letting this go for the VERY LAST TIME! This is an issue I had worked out awhile ago, but I felt the need to do this publicly. With witnesses I am held accountable!

Now I Can Breathe...Relax and Move Forward ♥

Peace & Uplifting,
Tabitha

  2. YES! Letting go is the only way to freedom and happiness I believe.

    I understand what you have gone through, because I have been on a similar path.

    Negativity is like a slap in the face; it stings, but it doesn't do permanent damage unless we dwell on it. Thank GOODness, there are people like you in the world who are like a salve that eases the sting! :)

  3. I used to be a people pleaser and I'm still working on being released from that! God is helping me realize that my life is not about those people. It's about God and me!!
