Many do not want to forgive because they have a misguided belief that by holding on to their anger, hatred or resentment is somehow punishing the other person. Wrong! That is not the case.
Rather, withholding forgiveness is akin to drinking poison with the hope that the other person will die. They won’t!
Forgive them for your own peace of mind, healing and freedom. You deserve to reclaim your power, your life. 🦋
A toxic person is usually characterized as being insecure, self-centred, jealous, manipulative, domineering and controlling.
How do you know if you are in relationship with a toxic person? They tend to suck the sweetness out of your life and emotionally shred you.
The following are 10 common signs that a person is toxic;
🦋 You’re left feeling emotionally exhausted after spending time with them.
🦋 They try to intimidate, blame or shame you to get their way.
🦋 They try control you with guilt.
🦋 They easily anger and lash out.
🦋 They can’t take ‘no’ as an answer.
🦋 They see themselves as a victim, to garner attention and sympathy.
🦋 They give ambiguous back-handed compliments.
🦋 They have no respect for your boundaries.
🦋 They don’t take responsibility for their own feelings.
🦋 They are self-centred, uncaring and unsupportive.
Essentially, toxic people are not interested in you and your life. They are interested in how you can be an asset for them, how they can use you for their own benefit.
You cannot change them!
You deserve to have respectful, supportive and appreciative people in your life. Life is too short to spend time with people who don’t inspire you to be your best self, living your authentic life.
I hope you will use this post as a springboard to immunize yourself against the toxic people in your life, to walk away! 🦋
I think one of the most destructive beliefs we have about relationships is that our partner is responsible for meeting our needs. This belief is not only wrong, it is toxic poison, that destroys most relationships.
To be clear, he or she is not obligated to fulfilling your needs, you are. In turn, you are free from the nonsensical notion that it is your job to fulfill his or her needs.
However, and this is key for a thriving relationship, you are both equally responsible for meeting the needs of your relationship.🦋
Discomfort is the currency of success in life, love and leadership. If you feel uncomfortable, out of your depth, overwhelmed or scared then know that you have inadvertently stumbled or intentionally pitched yourself out of your loathsome yet comfortable rut. You are on a life altering adventure, moving towards the light of where you belong, your brilliant life, career and relationship. Lean in, level up and just keep going. You’ve got this. 🦋

I will never be fearless nor do I want to be. Fear is my ally. When fear creeps into my thoughts I know I’m on the right path. Fear alerts me that what I’m about to do is important for my soul’s calling, my personal evolution and empowerment When fear slithers into my consciousness it signals that it is time to suit up with courage and get moving in the direction of my heart’s desire. 🦋
With commitment we can never fail. Without commitment we will fail. If it’s important we commit 100% . If it’s sort of important, we will sort of commit and then wonder why something is not working out as we had hoped. Outcomes never lie. Go all in for yourself, make the commitment, take the risk and ride the tiger to the end. 🦋
