"The only people who get upset about you setting boundaries are the ones that are benefiting from you having none."

Sometimes you just have to stop making excuses for people's bad behavior and actions. Sometimes there just aren't any excuses left. And, that is exactly what this year has shown you and I, if you were willing to stop old repetitive patterns and stop following your ego who longs to keep everything as it was, even if none of it is working for you any longer.

It is time to let go of all the people, places and things that you continue to allow to exist in your life that only take from you and in some cases are even toxic to you. People do not change! But, you can change by finally letting go of them all- even if your ego tells you that you'll be missing out on something. Believe your intuition, believe what you see and believe how people act. Do not create stories why they really didn't mean to do what they did because...(you fill in the blanks). Believe and know that no matter what anyone else says-such as you are too sensitive; don't take things so personally; or that you should just get over it, that you are allowed to have your feelings no matter what judgements other may place upon you. Today, finally let go, do not look back and totally trust that by finally letting go of toxic people, places and things that you make room for the new people, places and things that will respect and honor who you are today. When you treat yourself with self-respect, other people respect you.Today, treat yourself with respect and finally let go-you deserve so much more..you deserve better.

Just for today, I recognize that I cannot change another person. I let others be who they are and I simply love who I am. I release all things that no longer benefit me-objects, ideas, habits and relationships. I now create a wonderful new relationship. Instead of isolating myself, I am choosing to open up and let love in. Other people respect me because I respect myself. I am safe and all is truly well in my world. And so it is
