Protect your peace

 At times we get so caught up in the needs of others and focusing on fixing the issue to where we will run ourselves dry. I recall a time I thought I had to save everyone or find a resolution. I was literally losing sleep and draining myself mentally, physically even financially. In some situations the help was one sided and I overlooked many things because of love. I have now learned everything does not need fixing, at least by me anyway. I now pray more than I ever have because I know where my strength and help comes from.  From family to co-workers and relationships as well it seemed I attract broken people. I now understand its part of my purpose but I have to take things easy and handle it all differently. Nothing is wrong with loving or helping but you have to take it easy and tread lightly. In all situations do whats best for you and don't overload yourself. Be sure to keep calm and communicate openly. If the person you are speaking with is hostile, upset or negative and seems to not want help FALL BACK! I personally refuse to go above and beyond and out my way for ungrateful individuals. If someone you associate with (no matter the relationship) trigger old ways or are part of what you're growing from FALL BACK! No matter what you do PROTECT YOUR PEACE!!!!
