Surround Sound

We certainly have the power to choose who we allow to surround us in life. I have a tight inner circle and I am grateful for every single soul! We often choose to allow someone in our life however that takes more than gives, is not really on our wavelength, has different goals or visions to the point where it detracts from ours, etc. Unfortunately in so many of those moments instead of recognizing how our choice affected the outcome, we turn to blaming that person. No one can cause us to backslide. We choose to or we choose not to. It's like that proverbial parental line, "if so and so jumped off a bridge would you follow them?" We all answer a resounding "of course not!" but in our lives we often do choose to jump off that proverbial bridge. It does not matter what happens in life, whether we are beaten, raped, homeless, abused, cheated on, lied to, or misunderstood. No one makes our choices for us except US! So next time we go to blame another soul for our own terrible behavior, we should probably remember that there are those three proverbial fingers pointed back at us! May we all get stronger every day. May we lift one another to the light. May we surround ourselves with what is best for us and take responsibility every day for the good or bad ways that we choose to behave. May we all continue forward toward our exponential potential! It is our time to rise.
