Users

In my youth, a user wasn't someone who took drugs or operated a computer. They were people who manipulated others for personal gain and took more then they ever gave.

 

This is a word I'm "hearing" a lot lately. I have a feeling that guidance may be determining who are users around me, or others, and moving them on. They've done it before, at least around me.

 

Sometimes, you just have to move away from people who have no regards for you as a person and only have you around to get what they want ...when they want it. 

 

Allow them to fade away from your life. It's really okay to do so. If you sense yourself being pulled away from another, this could be the reason.

 

However, sad to say, the biggest users can be the closest to you and the ones who can do more harm because of it ... family. Only because we've bought into some "family loyalty system" which continually fails us due to it. Using the title of "family" as if it's okay to mentally or verbally be abused by them.

 

I hear this far too often.

 

I've learned that family should not be treated any different than friends. Respect, as well as loyalty, is a two way street regardless of any "birthright."

 

Don't forget, if we expect less ... we get less.

 

If we have users in our life, that continously abuse our kindness, whoever they are, then we are just as much part of the problem as they are. Don't be angry at them, after all we allowed it.

 

Yes ... we did.

 

It's best to move away whenever one can ... and with love ... by not allowing it anymore and just consider it another lesson learned. 

 

If you feel there may be anger involved, just allow the Universe to direct their attention elsewhere so they can be cleansed from our lives with no guilt ... no remorse ... no proverbial ties to bind us.
