This is the hardest thing you\u2019ll have to do in your life and it will also be the most important thing: stop giving your love to those who aren\u2019t ready to love you yet.<\/p>\n<p>Stop hard conversations with people who don\u2019t want to change.\u00a0Stop showing up for people who are indifferent to your presence.\u00a0Stop loving people who aren\u2019t ready to love you.<\/p>\n<p>I know your instincts do everything to win the good mercy of everyone around you, but it\u2019s also the impulse that will steal your time, energy and mental, physical and spiritual health. When you start manifesting yourself in your life, completely, with joy, interest and commitment, not everyone will be ready to find you in this place of pure sincerity. That doesn\u2019t mean that you have to change who you are. That means you have to stop loving people who don\u2019t want to love you yet. When you are excluded, subtly offended, forgotten or easily ignored by people you give time to, you don\u2019t do yourself any favour by allowing them your energy and your life.<\/p>\n<p>The truth is that you\u2019re not for everyone\u2026 And that not everyone is for you\u2026 That makes this world so special, when you find the few people you have friendship, love or a true relationship with\u2026<\/p>\n<p>You will know how valuable that is\u2026\u00a0Because you have experienced what isn\u2019t\u2026<\/p>\n<p>But the more time you spend trying to make you loved by someone who can\u2019t\u2026\u00a0The more time you waste depriving the same connection\u2026<\/p>\n<p>There are billions of people on this planet, and many of them will end up with you, on their level, with their vibration, from where they stand\u2026\u00a0But\u2026The smaller you stay, involved in the privacy of people who use you as a pillow, background option, a therapist and a strategy for their emotional healing\u2026\u00a0More time you stay out of the community you wish for. If you stop showing up, you might be less wanted\u2026<\/p>\n<p>If you stop trying, the relationship might stop\u2026\u00a0If you stop texting, your phone stays dark for days and weeks\u2026\u00a0Maybe if you stop loving someone, the love between you will dissolve\u2026<\/p>\n<p>That doesn\u2019t mean you ruined a relationship!\u00a0That means all this relationship had was the energy that only you and you hire to keep it in the air.\u00a0It\u2019s not love.\u00a0That\u2019s attachment.\u00a0That\u2019s wanting to give a chance to those who don\u2019t want it!<\/p>\n<p>The most valuable and most important thing you have in your life is your energy.\u00a0It&#8217;s not just your time because it\u2019s limited\u2026\u00a0It\u2019s your energy!\u00a0What you give every day is what will become more and more in your life.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the ones you give time and energy that will define your existence. When you realize this, you start to understand why you are so impatient when you spend your time with people that don\u2019t suit you, and in activities, places, situations that don\u2019t suit you. You\u2019re starting to realize that the most important thing you can do for your life, for yourself and for everyone you know, protect your energy stronger than anything.<\/p>\n<p>Turn your life into a safe sanctuary where only \u201ccompatible\u201d people with you are allowed.<\/p>\n<p>You are not responsible for saving people.\u00a0You are not responsible to convince them to be saved.\u00a0It\u2019s not your job to exist for people and give them your life, little by little, moment after the moment!\u00a0Because if you feel bad or if you feel obliged; you are the root of all of this by your insisting, afraid they promise you the favours you won\u2019t give them\u2026<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s your only fact to realize that you are the loved one of your destiny and to accept the love you think you deserve.\u00a0Decide you deserve a true friendship.\u00a0Wait then\u2026 just a minute\u2026\u00a0And look how everything is starting to change\u2026<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Chris George<\/strong> provides reliable PR &amp; GR counsel and effective advocacy.
