There are times when we will allow others to manipulate our spirit causing us to be totally drained or act a plumb fool! Often leaving us wounded and wondering what in the world happen to our self esteem? What developed in us to make us react so strongly to someone else words? Have you ever felt less or inadequate because of another person’s comments or opinions on your life? Sometimes people make statements that don’t jibe with your conscious; their words can penetrate your spirit to its core. Although these words are not physically attacking you, there strength is sometimes as lethal as a blow.
India ARie sings about it in her song “Get It together.” from her 2003 Voyage to India CD.
One shot to your heart without breaking your skin.
No one has the power to hurt you life your kin.
Kept it inside didn't tell no one else,
didn't even want to admit to yourself.
And now your chest burns and your backaches,
from fifteen years of holding the pain.
And now you'll only have yourself to blame if you continue to live this way.
Chorus: Get it together; you have to heal your body.
Get it together you have to heal your heart.
Whatsoever you so sow you will reap, Get it together.
Dark future ahead of me that's what they said.
I'd be starving if I ate al the lies they fed.
Cause' I've been redeemed from your anguish and pain,
a miracle child, I'm floating on a cloud.
Cause' the wards that come from your mouth, you're the first to hear...
Speak words of beauty ad you will be there.
Na matter what anybody says what matters most is what you think of your
self.
Know who you are, be ready to stand your ground and trust in your self.
If your belief is strong in the spirit of self, others self doubt and fear will not affect or deter you from your goal and all their talk will bounce off you like you were made of steel. Understand that by you allowing their non-belief to shake you, only secure the fact that you have doubt in your self, which is causing you a delay in attracting what it is you need in the first place!
Use the naysayers and doubters as motivation not ammunition against your self. Believe in the process and close your ears to what others have to predict over your life. Don’t get me wrong there are times that you may need checking, from a close source, because we all are bugging sometimes.
But constructive love is wayyyy different then criticism that can cause delay in your life’s plan. Beware of what comes from your lips, that gives others ammunition to sink your ship. Remember the game back in the day called Battlefield? The object of the game would be for you to face your opponent and then call moves out loud to keep them off your course, so that you could get to them and sink their battleship! Protect your battleship, heart and ears and move forward know that your path is yours for the taking!!
