monday's mantra
don't let someone be a priority in your life -
when you are just an option in theirs
a tough life lesson for sure. painful, actually.
but think of it this way . . . there are friends and loved ones in your life right now for whom you ARE a priority . . . and not an option. who love you, value you, depend upon you, and cherish you. perhaps even more than you realize.
identify them now. hold them in your heart. lavish them with your love.
may you not squander your faith and affection on those who do not value all you have to offer. who will carelessly discard as something or someone better comes along.
know your magnificence and adore yourself enough to realize the loss is not yours to be felt.
instead, generously offer yourself to those who know the true gift you are.
and for this, your returns will be infinite.
