HELLO READERS
With success comes the never-ending task of deleting, blocking or weeding out fake friends and all the other opportunities who are happy to help themselves from the troughs of freebies, but have nothing to give of themselves . It can be very difficult to recognise who is a sweet talker, or the sweet stabber because they all look and sound the same with their endless anecdotes and self-promotions. Sometimes it’s the one with the charming smile displaying agreement who really despises you, and the one who shows disagreement, but who really loves you. People can be shallow shadows, so choose your companions and confidants carefully, but keep your secrets safe.
Sometimes your dearest friend, whom you reveal most of your confessions to can become deadly and unfriendly whilst luring you into a false sense of security. This is what sometimes happens. You trustingly confide information, and they use it against you. People can be more venomous than snakes, which explains why so many prefer living with their pets. Always be mindful of the friend who rejoices silently when trouble arrives, or the other one who refuses to celebrate when on the receiving end of good news and rewards. Never make the mistake of befriending cheaters, liars, deceivers, agitators, saboteurs, traitors, slanderers or backstabbers. Whatever they were once guilty of inflicting upon others, they will one day dish out the same treatment to you.
Never allow others to dictate what you can or cannot do. Always be your own person living by your own rules and principles. If you listen to their negative comments, you will inevitably remain paralysed to one spot, never achieve anything worthwhile whilst later living a life of regret. Seek strength, not to be greater than others but to fight your inner demons, which are doubts and reservations you have about yourself because once, someone planted them there.
If you take a deeper look at the hidden state of your mind and everyday life, you may discover that you have an unusually high level of unwanted weeds occupying valuable space which are gently suffocating you. No one gets away lightly with this scenario. They are mostly weeds of doubt, jealousy, self-pity and worst of all, weeds of false friendships. Don’t be alarmed by any of this because it’s normal, just don’t make the mistake of regularly watering and feeding those same weeds. Don’t give them any energy nor let them take up any more space because what you stop giving attention to will eventually wither away.
Start by believing in your infinite potential, your own abilities and attract towards you all that you are worthy of. Your only limitations are those you have unwittingly set upon yourself. Never again let fear hold you captive, nor listen to those troubling suggestions that are responsible for creating pain, making you feel less confident and competent. The only person you are destined to become is the one you decide to be.
Shine with a genuine golden heart, not with a business egoistic sparkle which reeks of insincerity and hypocrisy. Whatever you decide to do in life, give it meaning and make it matter. Along the way, you will discover that not everyone is on your side. Some may clap out loudly, but behind your back they are praying for your failure. The secret of a peaceful life is to stop missing people. The word ‘friend’ is a label anyone can try on, but alone must decide who is most deserving to wear it.
‘I stretch my arms out
Let the truth be told
These days, friends are modern day Pinocchios
Long nose, friend or more fake than the wax statues standing still in Madame Tussaud.’
LOVE AND LIGHT,
LINDA AND THE LULAS XXX
