Is It Time To Close A Door?

 


“Close some doors today. Not because of pride, incapacity, or

 arrogance, but simply because they lead you nowhere.”

—Paulo Coelho

    It's hard, but sometimes you need to close a door. It's not about unforgiveness, bitterness, or hating others. On the contrary, it might be a necessary action for honoring and loving yourself. 

      You can love people who don't know how to love you. When you gently close the door, let them know that. Let them know you are giving them the space and time they need to learn and grow. Communicate to people that you forgive them, but also let them know that you cannot allow yourself to be an available target for their toxicity. 

    Always pray for people, even your enemies; hope the best for them. At the same time, decide not to be anyone's punching bag or doormat. When you close the door to negative people, you open yourself to a life of peace, productivity, and power. 

With Love,

Redemption Is Possible: What To Do When We Make Mistakes

Image
  “Change begins at the end of your comfort zone.”—Roy T. Bennett What should we do when we make a mistake? How do we correct our wrongs? Since the past cannot be changed, undone, or reversed, we must learn how to shift our focus from the past and concentrate on repairing, restoring, and redeeming ourselves in the present and the future. We must take intentional action to heal hurtful things we've said or done. Redemption begins with first taking full responsibility for our actions. We cannot make excuses for any challenges we’ve endured, even the ones that happened beyond our control. The only way to be free from guilt is by accepting that consequences are the results of our own actions. Denying, trivializing, or minimizing the pain we cause only delays our liberation from the prison of shame. No one forces us to do bad things. Taking ownership means the power is in our hands to change and redeem ourselves. We must also forgive ourselves. We must release the negative emoti
