An old friend of mine (Darrell Davis) shared some important advice on Facebook, and I'd like to repost it here as it may also benefit anyone that may happen to visit my blog. Feel free to share the following with someone in need.
"In some instances you have to let things, people, attitudes, behaviors, ideas, and beliefs go in order to receive and be blessed by new ones. Just as oil and water do not mix, revelations and higher states may not mix with old ways of being. At our deepest levels we know what works for us and what doesn't. Instead of becoming frustrated, tired, and worn out by trying to make things fit where they don't, it might be better to let go of the old and start anew."
The advice/message is simply priceless and another variation of it also saved me almost 3 years ago as I made the difficult decision to walk away from certain people who were acting as 'cancers' toward me. They were bringing me down BOTH mentally as well as physically. When it's all said & done, I learned a valuable lesson and feel so much stronger today as I move forward in life. At the end of the day, you have to regain control of your particular situation and move forward, no matter what people say. Leave the negativity in the dust where it belongs, and SHINE!
