People are in your life daily, weekly, monthly, annually…love them all.  For the record, this is true in business as well as personal relationships.

By your relationship experiences, you know where you “rate” on their priority list.  Conduct yourself accordingly. People will teach you how they should be treated.  Start teaching people how they should treat you.  Stop being a welcome mat.  You get to make your boundaries known.  And they have the free will to act accordingly.  If you’re a talker and they’re a texter and you cannot agree on a compromise when interacting with each other via the phone, then you both get to decide how your relationship will go forward or if it will.  Don’t get upset if you attempt to be more in their life and they don’t reciprocate.  Some people just don’t know how to reciprocate and some people just plain suck.  You can still love them. Bless & release.

If you are friends and call them and they seem to never return your calls; stop calling.  (if you are stalking them, then you need professional help.  That is not what I am referring to in this example.)  If you used to spend lots of time together talking & laughing and now they don’t seem to have the time of day for you; move on.  It could be that their lives have changed or they’re just not that into you anymore, as the movie title says.  LOL  You may need to tone down your actions toward them.  You cannot always be the one making the connection, friendships & relationships are designed to be reciprocal.  Don’t become a stalker or a chaser.  People come into our lives for a reason or a season.  Some stay, while others don’t. Bless & release.

Love them where they are, is my motto.  Doesn’t mean it still isn’t sad or hurtful to you…but it does put things into perspective.  Stop chasing people who don’t show an interest in your life – which feels like they just don’t seem to care.  Live your life.  Find new people to get to know…you actually might find your next best friend.  Bless & release.

It’s better to be alone than to feel lonely surrounded by others and not having your interactions reciprocated.  Embrace people you meet in life…they all matter. And remember, do not push away someone who is a true friend…they are rare in today’s society.

PEACE & BLESSINGS
