I’m not for everyone

I use to want to “fit in” and be liked by everyone I encountered only to realize that I was actually doing myself a disservice. I was holding myself back when I tried to be someone I wasn’t because I thought I had to. The older I got the more I realized, not everyone will like you and that’s ok! The fire that burns inside of me will kindle some and irritate others and that’s ok! I’d rather be better for the people I am for in a way that positively impacts them, than just existing and not making an impact at all. I’m so grateful to God for this great insight about myself, it’s been a journey to this point and I know I still have a ways to go! I’m in a place where I love myself enough to remain true to myself and what God wants me to do. I’m in a place where I listen and hear from a place of love and once I feel that a person is not coming from that place… I simply remove myself without quarrel and just keep it moving. Been there done that and I refuse to go back to that place. I can’t be everything to everyone, I can only be me! I don’t expect everyone to be everything to me either, I take what they give and if I don’t like it, I go on about my way. I don’t force it, I just keep it moving.
