I really lost track of time this morning and forgot to post my blog entry for today and let me just say, it's ironic...Ironic in the sense that my entry for today is: "Stop leaving the Definites for the Maybes or Nevers". For me, it's my immediate family and my few close friends. And... today it seemed just about all of them needed me in some sense. So yes...they WERE and ARE the priority.
Whewww...can we talk about this? Can we talk about how there are times where you really want other people to make you a priority and time after time after time, they show you that you are NOT a priority? Felt like a sucker punch didn't it? I know. Been there. Done that. Collected several tshirts. I admit it, this WAS me.
When I thought back on it and did some serious self examination, I realized that those people weren't for me. They didn't care if I won. They didn't care about my well being. My sole purpose for them was availability. Yeah....as long as I was available, I was relevant.
Meanwhile, my cheer team, my hype team, my accountability team, my prayer team....they fell by the wayside. I became emotionally unavailable to them because my focus was on securing viability for someone else.
But guess who was there for me when I got my feelings hurt...when I needed a hug...when I forgot how AMAZING (lol) I am? My Team. We gotta start celebrating them EVERYDAY on purpose. We gotta start pouring into them as they pour into us. Not because they require it, but because they DESERVE it.
When people show you who they are...believe it. When people show you who you are to them...believe them.
Stop leaving the Definites for the Maybes or Nevers...
... Let's Extend some Grace. Share some Love. And A.C.E (Affirm, Change, Elevate) 2024!
